Today three police officers and several witnesses have come to the apartment of Ivan Kruk, an activist of the campaign against construction of a nuclear power station in Astravets district. They presented to Mr. Kruk a warrant for examination of the apartment in connection with the issue of the low-circulation bulletin Astravetski Vesnik.

Yesterday the police made a similar visit to the apartment of the leader of the campaign Mikola Ulasevich.
