photo by "Nasha Niva"
Shchuchyn
police drew up a report
of administrative offense against
pensioner Veranika Sebastsyanovich, a member
of the Union of Poes in Belarus which is
unregistered by the authorities. The
82-year-old was mailed
a copy of the report, in which she is charged with holding
an unsanctioned rally.
In May
Sebastsyanovich was a participant of the establishment
of a memorial cros in
the hamlet of Rachkaushchyna
not far from Bakshty (Shchuchyn
district) in memory of a soldier of Armija
Krayova (Polish resistance movement) Anatol
Radzivonik who was
murdered by the NKVD. The cross was placed on a
private land.
It is unclear why the pensioner is considered
to be the organizer of the memorial action. The case was sent
to the Shchuchyn District
Court and
it still unclear when it will be considered.
