At about 8 p.m. on 5 September in Leninskaya Street in Mahiliou the police detained for handing out Moladzevy biuleten UFF-BY.org (Youth Bulletin) three under aged persons: Ales Anisimau, Artsiom Davydau and Kastus Yauseyeu. 173 copies of the edition were confiscated from them. 

Moladzevy biuleten UFF.BY.org is a non-periodical low-circulation student edition about culture, art and student life in Belarus. The confiscated number was dedicated to Basovishcha-2007 rock festival in Poland. The police detained the youngsters for more than three hours without giving any charges, which is a violation of the Belarusian legislation. The formal reason for the confiscation of the bulletin was the absence of the output data. A confiscation report was composed.

According to a human rights activist Barys Bukhel, the local KGB office got interested in this case. Probably, soon the youngsters will have a talk with the KGB workers.
