Belarusian broadcasts of the Finland-Belarus football match reportedly cut away from parts of the game because of Finnish fans, with Finnish public broadcaster Yle reporting that fan sections were censored from the coverage. The move has drawn attention in Finland, with discussion on social media criticising the censorship of supporters during an international match.
Why now: State censorship of fan displays in an international football match is striking and politically charged given Finland-Belarus relations
