Last trial concerning concert in “Yo-mayo” to take place on 9 April
Ihar Trukhanovich, detained and severely beaten on 24
March, during a Saturday concert at “Yo-mayo” club, will be tried for “disorderly
conduct” as some other detainees.
The trial will start at 9 a.m.
at the Tsentralny District Court of Minsk and will be lead by Judge Tkachova.
Bear in mind that more than 100
people had been detained during the charitable concert held by the civil
initiative “Food Not Bombs”. Female detainees were taken to the Partyzanski
District Police Department in Minsk,
male detainees – to the Tsentralny District Police Department. Most of them
were freed without getting any charges. About 15 detainees were charged with “disorderly
conduct” (Article 17.1 of the Code of Administrative Offences) and sentenced to
arrest terms or fines.
