According to Zmitser Khvedaruk, the police beat the detainees in their bus. Having put down their passport data, the policemen let go all activists except for Khvedaruk and Sandras. On them the police drew violation reports under article 156 of the Administrative Code (petty hooliganism).
Today Zmitser Khvedaruk and Hleb Sandras have been judged. The judge of Minsk Tsentralny Borough Court Aliaksei Bychko sentenced the first of them to 3 days of jail and the second one to about 25 USD fine.
