Police detained Viasna activist with a computer

According to Radio Liberty, on 29 June at about 8 p.m. in the evening in Kalinkavichy the police detained Uladzimier Tsieliepun, a Human Rights Center Viasna activist from Mazyr.

The activity was detained soon after the deputy chair of the regional organization of UCP Uladzimier Katsora had handed his computer over to him.

According to the police, this computer was allegedly stolen from some undisclosed organization. After they detained the human rights activity, the police investigator Surma and the police expert Valiak, however, did not try to identify the computer of Uladzimier Tsieliepun but examined the contents of his private files.

In the same evening in Kalinkovichy five police officers headed by Major Taran broke into a private apartment at 9 Kniazieva Street. The apartment housed a gathering staged to elected delegates to the Congress of Democratic Forces. The police attempted to cancel the election gathering.
