‘For Freedom’ movement starts anti-dactylographic campaign in Masty

In Masty the activists of the For Freedom movement have started a campaign against the unlawful dactilography of the population, after all men started receiving writs to Masty district police department for giving their fingerprints to the police.

‘We are against the unlawful procedure of taking fingerprints from Masty dwellers, who have all legal reasons to refuse from this procedure. Today we have submitted a collective application to the head of Mastry district police department and the prosecutor of Mastry district, demanding explanations of the unlawful actions of Masty police and the reasons for the massive delivery writs for fingerprinting,’ told to the European Radio in Belarus Ales Zarembiuk, coordinator of the For Freedom in Hrodna oblast.
