Eurovision blocks Belarus entry from pro-Lukashenko band

The song, I'll Teach You by the vocal regime supporters Galasy ZMesta, appears to mock protesters

Eurovision has banned Belarus from entering a song to this year's contest called I'll Teach You, which appears to mock protesters who have taken to the streets against the dictator Alexander Lukashenko.

The song, performed by the five-piece group Galasy ZMesta, was chosen by Belarus's national broadcaster to compete in the Netherlands in May, rather than by a public vote as other entries have been in recent years.
