The Hrodna journalist Hrazhyna Shalkevich was summonsed to the Hrodna regional KGB department. They wanted to pass her an official summons on Saturday evening, but she was absent from home. At about 2 p.m. on Sunday she was visited by a police officer, who issued her with a summons for 6 p.m. of that day. The journalist wasn’t told why she was to come to the KGB department on a day-off, Sunday.
The trial concerning the liquidation of Polonika – a firm that is closely connected to the disgraced Union of Poles in Belarus, was to have been held at the Hrodna Regional Economic Court on 11 October. However, the tax inspection waived its lawsuit at the last moment, as a result of which the case was dropped.
Robert Tyszkiewicz, Deputy Chairperson of the Parliament on Foreign Relations, was going to Belarus as a member of a delegation invited by the disgraced Union of Poles in Belarus to celebrate an anniversary of Wostraja Brama, a military operation of Armia Krajowa for liberation of Vilnius from the Nazi troops during WWII.
An investigator of the Valozhyn District Police department, Shulha, informed Teresa Sobol, former head of the Polish House in Ivianets, that the criminal case against her was still open, but the accusation article was changed. Earlier the activist of the unrecognized Union of Poles in Belarus was charged with official abuses by a group of persons, whereas now the case concerns only her.
