The pressure on independent media has increased lately. The web-sites of Belarusian Partisan and the human rights center Viasna were hacked on 25 April, three days before that there had been an attack on the charter97.org web-site. By the means of a DDoS-attack the malefactors managed to blog the work of the web-site for an hour.
