Masked people try to intimidate Karetnikau in prison
Yury Karetnikau, the
Right Alliance leader, was on hunger strike in the remand prison in Akrestsin
Street in Minsk for 10 days.
The activist was detained on 30 October after participation in Dzyady
procession. Human rights activists believed that Yury could be detained again
after an administrative arrest as a suspect in a criminal case, however these
suppositions had not confirmed.
We remind that just a few weeks before Yury
Karetnikau had come back to Belarus after half a year absence
related to the events of 19 December 2010.
As Karetnikau told to udf.by website, on October 8 the unknown people in masks
visited him in the remand prison in Akrestsin
Street. They demanded him to confess he had taken
part in organizing the events of 19 December, as well as in getting financing
from abroad. The so-called “interrogation” was taking place with authorization
of the administration of the detention center.
