On 18 August Hrodna police detained Andrei Pachobut and Mechyslau Yaskevich for alleged interference into the work of the crew of the regional TV channel. The TV crew was shooting a clip about commemoration of Polish soldiers at military cemetery in Hrodna. Andrei Pachobut was sentenced to 10 days of jail.
