Hrodna: political leaders are summonsed to procuracy in connection with People's Assembly
On 4 October Yury Istomin, chairman of the Hrodna
regional organization of the United Civil Party, informed us about receiving a
telephone call from the Hrodna procuracy. Prosecutor Karavayeu told him to come
to the procuracy for familiarizing with a warning about responsibility for
possible unauthorized actions.
The warning concerns the People's Assembly which will be held by the Hrodna
opposition at 1 p.m. on 8 October at the “Nioman” stadium.
Yury Istomin, who wasn't in Hrodna at the time of the call, asked to be issued
with an official summons and said that he could come to the procuracy not
earlier than 6 October.
A similar call was received by Pavel Staneuski, deputy chairman of the Hrodna
region branch of the Belarusian Leftist Party “Fair World”, who had been also
summonsed to the police before this. Mr. Staneuski is going to the procuracy in
the morning on 5 October.
