Medical examination of the forcefully drafted “Young Front” activist will begin in Minsk on September 7.

As Radio Racyja reports, youth activist Zmitser Khvedaruk got new diseases in the army.

We remind that on January 28, 2009, Zmitser Khvedaruk was forcefully guarded to the military enlistment office and then to a jail in Akrestsin Street to serve punishment for participation in a rally on May 1, 2008. It became known later that the court didn’t deliver such a verdict. Nevertheless, Khvedaruk had to spend two days in jail. Handcuffed, he was taken to Minsk polyclinic #4 for medical examination. The medical board found him fit for military service, though he had a surgery on a vine a month ago and a number of chronic diseases.
