On 11 January an activist of the Speak Truth civil campaign Pavel Vinahradau was given charges under
Article 293, part 1 and 2 of the Criminal Code – organization of and
participation in mass riot. Mr. Vinahradau is kept in custody.
Bear in mind that he is a figurant of the ‘case of 14’ instigated upon Article
342, ‘organization and preparation of mass actions that grossly violate the
public order, or active participation in them’, after the action of protest
held by the Belarusian entrepreneurs in January 2008. He had been sentenced to
2 years of personal restraint without direction to an open penitentiary
institution in May 2008.
