Brest procuracy warns Andrei Sharenda
The Brest procuracy issued the civil activist
Andrei Sharenda with a warning taking into account some “circumstances
witnessing a violation of the Law “On mass events” (during his participation in
the peaceful post-election protests on 19 December 2010 in Minsk).
As said by human rights defender Raman Kisliak, Andrei Sharenda was warned
“about the inadmissibility of repeated offense” as Sharenda “actively
participated in a mass event which was accompanied with gross violation of the
public order and insubordination to lawful demands of public agents which
resulted in an interruption of the flow of traffic”.
Raman Kisliak is surprised that a warning was issued in connection with the
events of December 2010. He thinks that the procuracy's actions are connected
to the present election campaign and are aimed at intimidation of opposition
activists.
