Police terrorize beaten watchman
Vasil Sarochyk, who recently said about
beating in the Leninski District Police Department, has faced
pressure from police.
BelaPAN news agency learnt this from
deputy head of the “Platform” educational association Alena
Krasouskaya-Kaspiarovich.
According
to her, for the last two days Vasil
Sarochyk has been
receiving telephone calls from different police departments of
Minsk's Leninski district asking to come for an
“interrogation”.
“The Leninski police department refuses
to send a summons to Sarochyk, saying he should come 'urgently' and
no summons is needed,” Krasouskaya-Kaspyarovich says.
Sarochyk
refuses to come to police without an official summons, she says.
After his another refusal to appear in the organized crime department
of the Leninski district, his relatives were handed a summons at 8
p.m. “Nevertheless, Sarochyk said he would consult with his lawyer
on all summons and visits and appear for investigative procedures in
the presence of a lawyer,” Krasouskaya-Kaspiarovich
noted.
“Different police officers, who refuse to introduce
themselves, have begun to visit the parking lot, where Sarochyk
works, and ask to talk to Sarochyk and give them documents. On
Wednesday, 28 November, two policemen appeared at the parking lot and
said they were officers of the Leninski District Police Department.
They wanted to talk to Sarochyk face to face,” the “Platform”
representative said.
