Mahiliou: Iryna Tryhubava to be tried for leaflet
Iryna Tryhubava, an activist of the Free Trade Union
of Steelworkers, was detained about three weeks ago near the porch of a house
in the Yubileiny syburb.
“I was throwing leaflets “Four our and your freedom!” into postboxes. I just
posted a leaflet in one of the porches, when I was approached by an unknown man
who grabbed me and told someone on the phone that he detained me,” said Iryna
Tryhubava.
Then the man took Iryna to the nearest police station, where a report of
administrative violation was drawn up, and the remaining 30 leaflets and glue
were confiscated.
After this, the woman was visited by a police inspector who asked her whether
she wanted to attend the trial. He also told her that she had been detained by
a KGB officer. The trial will take place on 14 December.
