Siarhei Verameyenka gets fined for distributing printed matter without imprint
On 7 May the trial of Siarhei
Verameyenka, an activist of the organizing committee of the
Belarusian Christian Democracy party, took place in Leninski District
Court of Hrodna.
The activist was found guilty of distributing
printed editions without imprint and fined 2 million rubles. Bear in
mind that Mr. Verameyenka had been detained by people in mufti on 12
March near the office of the local Christian democrats, while
carrying leaflets for an event within the framework of the "Wave
of Solidarity" campaign.
The people in mufti introduced
themselves as officers of Leninski District Police Department and,
threatening with physical violence, forced him to come with them. As
it was found out later, the name of one of them is Aliaksandr
Kilikin.
At the DPD they counted the leaflets and then paid a
visit to Verameyenka's house, where they held a search looking for
more leaflets.
