Frunzensky District Court of Minsk sent for the administrative arrest of four Belarusians, which took white sheets on the windows. The message about it appeared in the Telegram channel of the Human Rights Center “Spring”.
Denis Kulikova, Andrei Muravyova, Yuri Klimoshovsky and Maya Shatokhina were judged by the article on violating the procedure for holding public events. The judge found that his gast of Minsk resident “expressed his political interests by placing on the window of one white sheet of paper.”
In the process, the detainees were asked about the “meaning load” of the empty sheet. They stressed that the paper did not reflect their political or social position and was removed from the windows on the first demands of the security forces. As a result, the court appointed Belarusians from 13 to 28 days of arrest.
Previously, Belarusian security forces detained a 58-year-old taxi driver during the commemoration of his deceased mother. The reason was listening in the car “protest” songs Viktor Tsoi two months before. He was appointed 15 days of arrest on a similar article. “The chamber is small, and because of the heat to breathe there was nothing. I had to go to a small crack in the door and breathe through her. At the same time, we didn’t feed it all this time. The staff spoke exclusively by Mat,” the man told his arrest later.
