Preventive detentions in Homel
Andrei Tsianiuta
On 1 July in Homel Andrei Tsianiuta, head of the Homel
branch of the Young Front, was detained in the yard of his house and put
in jail. Two more activists, Pavel Pryvalau and Ruslan Ustsimenka, were
detained as well. Pryvalau is charged with disorderly conduct.
The trials of the detainees are expected to take place on 4 July.
By the way, on 28 March Andrei Tsianiuta had returned home after the end of his
military service term. He was drafted into the army for political reasons: at
first the medics had recognized him unfit for military service, but then the
medical conclusion was changed. While serving in the army, Tsianiuta demanded
to be assigned to alternative civilian services and even filed a lawsuit
against unlawful actions of the military enlistment office, which didn't yield
any results.
