Police interrogate members of Vasil Paliakou’s initiative group concerning Minsk blast

On 30-31 July Natallia Shchukina and Tatsiana Tserashkova, member of the initiative group of Vasil Paliakou, were summonsed to Savetski district police department of Minsk by a telephone call. A police officer who did not introduce himself told them to come to the police department. He offered no explanations either.

The women were interrogated by senior detective Yahor Masliukou, who asked where they had been on 3-4 July and who could confirm it. Then he proposed that they should give samples of their saliva and fingerprints. No minutes of the interrogation were lead.

Bear in mind that on 22 July Siarhei Serhiyenka, who intends to run on electoral district #35, was summonsed to this very police department. His fingerprints were taken, but no minutes of the interrogation were composed. K.Zhukouski, who intends to run on electoral district #38, also had to give explanations to the police. Two members of his initiative group, Z.Tryfanau and M.Tulzhankova, were also invited to the police.
