Activist of the “Young Front” Zmitser Yasevich, returning to Belarus after an exam session in European Humanities University, was searched on the border.
Zmitser’s personal belongings were examined carefully, border guards were especially interested in information in his laptop.
After a search border guards asked Zmitser where he lived and studied – in what university, on which faculty, they even asked how the activist passed the session.
“They obviously had an order for a search – a female border guard spoke with someone before the search,” Zmitser Yasevich says. “I faced such unpleasant searched before, but this has been the first one, for a period of the “liberalization”, for the last six months.”
