KGB is interested in foreign contacts of Slonim democrats

Ivan Sheha, doctor of the Slonim District Hospital and activist of the BPF Party, was twice interrogated at the Slonim inter-district KGB Department.

On 19 September a KGB officer came to the hospital and took Mr. Sheha to the KGB department after his work. On 26 September there came two KGB officers, one of whom was from Hrodna. However, Ivan Sheha refused to go with them. He drove together with them in his own car after making a telephone call to his wife.

KGB officers asked him many questions. They were mostly interested in the European foundations and their contacts with the Slonim activists. There were also questions about Sheha's ties with the Belarusian emigrants and the number of democratic activists in Slonim.
