The Minsk City Procurator's Office prolonged by one month the criminal investigation into the chair of Belarusian Helsinki Committee Hary Pahaniayla

Hary Pahaniayla is suspected of libeling the president and other top-level officials.

Such suspicions arose after Hary Pahaniayla gave an interview to the Swedish television company, where he did not rule out that Aliaxandr Lukashenka and other top-level officials might be behind the disappearance of political opponents. This case has been investigated by the procurator's office since November 2004, reminds Radio Liberty.
