Mother of detained boy denied right to appeal detention of her small son

Volha Chaichyts received an answer to her complaint to the procuracy concerning the detention of her 1,5-year-old boy. Strangely enough, the answer came from the court.

According to the answer, signed by the head of the court, M.Zhakevich, the complaint is not liable for consideration, as actions and decisions of judges can be appealed only by the sides of a trial. Meanwhile, there was no trial concerning the detention.

“I appealed the unlawful detention of my son at the procuracy, but received an answer from the court. However, my son wasn’t tired, unlike my father. So, the police can snatch the son out of my hands anywhere and nobody will consider this violation,’ commented Volha Chaichuts.

Bear in mind that Volha’s son Yan and his grandfather had been detained during the silent protest action of 3 July in Smaliavichy. The boy was returned to the mother 30 minutes after the detention. On 4 July Volha Chaichyts applied to the procuracy. Uladzimir Chaichyts was fined 1,050,000 rubles, allegedly because of “insubordination to the police”.
