"Spy case": counsel not allowed to visit Andrei Haidukou
Andrei Haidukou, who is accused of
spying, wasn't allowed to see his lawyer in the KGB jail on 3
January.
Andrei Haidukou is to have a
face-to-face interrogation with a new suspect in the case.
There
were no vacant rooms for meetings with inmates, Andrei Haidukou's
lawyer was told as he made the third attempt to see his client.
RFE/RL learned it from activist's mother Volha Haidukova.
“You
know, they did everything not to find vacant rooms. The lawyer has
permission for a visit, but they create obstacles to the
meeting.”
Volha Haidukkova says her son was transferred to
Minsk on 22 December. He had been kept in the detention center in
Valadarski Street until 27 December and then in the KGB jail. The
jail staff accepted a parcel for Haidukou from his sister on 29
December, but she doesn't know if Andrei received it.
Andrei
Haidukou, a worker of the "Naftan" plant in Navapolatsk,
was arrested on 9 November and accused of spying. According to the
KGB, Andrei Haidukou was detained as he was “installing a dead drop
with information interesting for foreign secret services”. The
"European Belarus" civil campaign released a statement
saying the activist was detained for distributing "Charter'97"
newspaper.
