Center Viasna from
Malaryta, lodged a complaint with the Malaryta District Procuracy concerning
unlawful actions of the police officers who had detained him on 13 July in the
evening.
According to Mr. Malei, he was detained on 13 July while sitting on a bench on
the square together with some acquaintances. “At about 7.40 p.m. I was
approached by policemen who detained me for “identification”. Having checked my
documents at the police department, they stated that they already had the
information that I had agitated people to come to the central square of Malaryta
on 3 July,” says the human rights defender.
Mr. Malei was released from the police department at about 8.50 p.m. without
getting any charges.
