Germany on Friday criticized the latest security clampdown on journalists in Belarus.
Speaking at a regular weekly news conference in Berlin, deputy government spokesman Thomas Steg urged "reasonable working conditions" for journalists n Belarus.
He called for the full realization of "European ideals like democracy and human rights."
On Thursday Belarus security forces launched reportedly a major round-up of local journalists linked to US and European media outlets, only two days after police broke up an opposition demonstration.
