The activists of the Belarusian Christian Democracy Yury Kazak and Uladzimir Kachahur received summons. KGB officers also wanted to hand writs to Daryia Bakhar (but she wasn’t at work at the time of their visit), and to Siarhei Vauchok (he wasn’t at home).
On 15 September Vasil Aliakhnovich, Chief Judge of the Navahradak District Court, sentenced the activists of the Speak Truth campaign Ivan Dziashuk and Natallia Katsmayer to pay 700,000 rubles for distributing the unregistered edition Prauda Niakliayeva two weeks ago.
In the morning on 7 November the monument to Lenin in Navahrudak was flung with green paint. Not far from the monument the police detained Daryia Bakhur and Yury Kazak, activists of the organizing committee of the Belarusian Christian Party in Navahrudak.
The story of Yury Istomin’s detention on August 18th was widely spread in the Internet. Istomin was detained by Navahradak police. That’s why he was late to register the signatures in the executive committee and submit documents for his registration as a UDF candidate in Navahradak district.
Yury Istomin, contender in Navahradak election district, was detained in the afternoon together with several members of his initiative group. Istomin, head of the regional UCP organization, continued to collect signatures in Navahradak. The police considered their actions "early agitation". This way the police did not only hinder the signature collection, but also deprived Yury Istomin of the opportunity to get the local authorities to confirm the signatures.
