Zinaida Mikhniuk
On 11 November the Maskouski District Court of Brest
considered the criminal case against Zinaida Mikhniuk, who had been detained on
8 October, the day when the People's Assembly was held.
The woman was one of its organizers, but was detained preventively, several
hours before it, and charged with the use of obscene language in public.
The trial started on 3 November, but was postponed to 11 November, because of
the absence of a police witness. Other policemen gave their testimonies on 11
November, but didn't manage to prove that she had really used obscene language.
Nevertheless, the judge found Zinaida Mikhniuk guilty and fined her 70,000
rubles.
