Andrei Tsianiuta appeals against arrest

Andrei Tsianiuta was arrested for 10 days in Homel for handing out invitations to the People’s Assembly which will take place on 8 October in Minsk and other towns and cities of Belarus.

Leanid Sudalenka, legal inspector of the Trade Union of Radio Electronic Industry in the Homel region, helped him to compose an appeal against the unlawful punishment.

The matter is that Andrei Tsianiuta had been tried for an alleged violation of the law “On Mass Events”, whereas in fact his actions were to have been considered within the framework of another law, “On National and Local Assemblies”.
