Not a single porn website could be found in the Belarus part of the Internet, according to the country’s Ministry of Internal Affairs [ru]. The head of the ministry’s high technology crime counteraction unit said that most porn is located on foreign servers, for example in the US. At the same time, he reported that in 2008 11 members of a criminal gang were arrested in Belarus on charges of child pornography production, dissemination and advertisement.
