HRODNA, Belarus -- The chief editor of Belarus's Polish-language monthly "Polski na uchodzstwie" has been summoned to appear at the Hrodna city prosecutor's office, RFE/RL's Belarus Service reports.
Igor Bancer said that he was instructed to go to the prosecutor's office on July 29, but that officials at the office refused to give a reason for the summons.
