Mikalai Dziadok holds on

The investigation into the criminal case against the student of the European Humanities University Mikalai Dziadok was extended for six months, and the term of his keeping in custody – for five months. So far Mikalai Dziadok has been given charges under Article 339, part 2 – ‘hooligan actions conducted by a group of individuals’.

Mikalai Dziadok holds on. In his latest letter from the pre-trial prison he writes: ‘The investigation didn’t succeed in playing on my initial bewilderment and embarrassment, and now they are trying to nag me holding me in prison for months and hoping that I would surrender and start doing anything they would tell me.’
