Mahiliou: Pavel Varashylau interrogated at work
Officers of Mahiliou Region KGB Department paid a visit to the working
place of a civil activist Pavel Varashylau to interrogate him as a witness in
the case of the 19 December ‘mass riot’ in Minsk. KGB officer Aliaksandr Prakapchuk
explained that they had to come to Pavel’s work as they had summonsed him by a
mailed writ, but he hadn’t come.
‘They asked whether I was at the protest action, whether I knew the leaders of
opposition parties and organizations and could cooperate with them on this
criminal case. I answered that I didn’t participate in the protest action and
didn’t know who of my acquaintances were there,’ said the activist.
The KGB officers also wanted to know what relation he had to such organizations
as Maladaya Belarus and Nash Dom. The interrogation lasted for
about two hours.
