Policemen defile white-red-white flags seized during search at European Belarus activist’s flat

Aliaksandr Vialitchanka, activist of the European Belarus opposition movement, has finally managed to return the leaflets, banners and national flags seized by the police during a search at his apartment back on 15 February 2012. The things were returned as a result of a complaint lodged with Minsk Savetski District Police Department.

However, the activist says that the flags have been cut and smeared in some sticky liquid.

Aliaksandr Vialitchanka says he is going to appeal the destruction of his property. Another activist Aleh Rahouski, whose personal belongings were also seized during a search, is still awaiting a reply from the police department.
