"Young Front" activists: detained, beaten, sentenced to arrest
On 14 May the apartment rented by the "Young
Front" activists Mikalai Dzemidzenka, Zmitser Kremianetski and Raman
Vasiliieu was assaulted by the riot police. The activists were beaten, detained
and taken away in an unknown direction.
The duty officers of the delinquents' isolation center in Akrestsin Street and
the district police department denied that the detainees were kept at their
institutions. The detention can be connected to hanging out a white-red-white
flag in Niamiha Street.
In the morning the detained activists were tried at the Tsentralny District
Court of Minsk. They were charged with disorderly conduct. Mikalai Dzemidzenka
was sentenced to ten days of arrest by Judge Vaitsekhovich. Raman Vasiliieu –
to 12 days of arrest by Judge Alena Tkachova. Zmitser Kremianetski was
sentenced to ten days of arrest, too.
