The photo of journalist Ihar Ilyash was published by pro-government Telegram channels.
Ihar Ilyash is the husband of political prisoner journalist Katsiaryna Bakhvalava, who was sentenced to eight years and three months in a high-security penal colony.
Update: Pro-government Telegram channels report that Ilyash was engaged in "assisting extremist formations" by giving interviews to independent media. He also allegedly "collected information for foreign intelligence services" by providing comments to Ukrainian publications.
