According to Hruzdzilovich, as reported by BelaPAN, the policemen included him into their database, photographed and fingerprinted, although they already had his fingerprints. All the materials were deleted from the journalist's video camera's memory card.
Satsyuk's camera was also cleaned of all video materials. Both journalists wrote explanatory notes in the police.
Satsyuk and Hruzdzilovich were detained this morning when they were covering the protest action held by the citizens against the authorities' self-will. The protesters got together in Mikhailauski Square to pass an appeal to Alyaksandr Lukashenka. However, the people in plain clothes forced them out of the square to Myasnikou Square.
