Provocation against journalist Volha Klaskouskaya, sister of political prisoner Aliaksandr Klaskouski
Volha Klaskouskay was taken out of her house in the
night time in handcuffs. The police beat hear and tore her blouse when she
tried to defend herself. She was taken to the Leninski District Police
Department of Minsk barefoot and was kept there till morning. Her relatives
managed to pass her clothes and shoes only in the morning.
She was unable to sign the detention report at night. Now she intends to
register the beating at the forensic expertise. She has aches in her arm and
many haematomas.
By the way, when the police entered the apartment, they behaved politely and
called her by the first and the second name. The mockery started after the
detention. At the police station, the police pulled her by the hair and beat.
They also threatened her with criminal persecution for resistance to the police
and libel against the president.
Reference:
Volha Klaskouskaya is the younger sister of a KGB prisoner, former policeman
Aliaksandr Klaskouski, who came to the post-election protest action of 19
December 2010 in
the police uniform and tried to stop the violent beating of the people by the
riot police.
Volha lived in Sweden
for several years. However, 2.5 weeks ago she returned to Belarus (losing
the status of political refuge) in order to support his brother and his family
(wife and three children). Her mother Liudmila and 9-year-old daughter
Miraslava returned to Belarus
with her.
After the 19 December events in Minsk Volha held numerous actions in Stockholm to support political prisoners in Belarus.
