Nineteen Belarusian journalists have had their accreditation to work for the BBC and other foreign media outlets removed by the authorities on the same day that two Associated Press reporters were deported from the country.
The Belarusian Association of Journalists told CNN that 19 Belarusian journalists were affected by the decision to remove press licenses on Saturday.
"We call upon the Belarusian authorities to revoke this decision and allow our journalists to continue doing their jobs," Morgan added. In another move against press freedom, the Belarusian authorities detained almost 50 journalists earlier this week, according to the BAJ. Of the journalists that were detained, all except four, who refused to hand over their phones, were later released.
