Ihar Alinevich has confrontations and Mikalai Dziadok – a high temperature
Investigative activities
are conducted towards an activist of the Belarusian anarchist movement Ihar
Alinevich who was detained on 28 November. According to our information, the
investigation has held three confrontations with his participation so far.
Bear in mind that four anarchists (Ihar Alinevich, Mikalai Dziadok, Aliaksandr
Frantskevich and Maksim Vetkin) are still kept in custody within the frames of
investigation of the criminal case instigated under Article 339, part 2 of the
Criminal Code (hooliganism) in connection with assaults on the Embassy of the
Russian Federation, the delinquents’ isolation center in Akrestsin Street and
the General Staff of the Ministry of Defense (all located in Minsk) and the KGB
department in Babruisk.
Mr. Alinevich has confessed only to participation in the action near the
General Staff that had taken place on 19 September 2009.
Meanwhile, there is still no information about the way he was detained on the
territory of the Russian Federation
and brought to Belarus
and whether it was done in a lawful way.
The investigation concerning another suspect, Mikalai Dziadok continues as
well. He has a high temperature and has been placed to the medical department
of the Zhodzina pre-trial prison.
In his latest letter Mr. Dziadok writes that all letters to him undergo
censorship and are passed to him with a great delay. He is not allowed to use
his own books and has to read the ones he can get in the prison library. The
detainee refused to sign the ruling about the extension of the term of his
detention to 3 February because he considers it absurd.
