The organization applied to the Minsk Region Procuracy with the request to check the legality of the warrant of the senior investigator of the Minsk City and Region KGB Department, justice captain A.Darashevich for searching the office of the Barysau town UCP organizatioin, and the legality of actions of the policemen who had conducted the search.

The search was conducted on 22 December 2010. According to the appeal, 42 items were confiscated from the office as a result of the search, including blanks of violations of electoral legislation, statements, minutes of previous electoral campaigns, outdated informational materials and two officially registered flags – a flag of the United Civil Party and a flag of the Independent Trade Union of Radio Electronic Industry. Nothing has been returned so far.

The search was conducted in the absence of UCP members. Moreover, though the official reason for the search was the “mass riot” that had allegedly taken place on 19 December 2010 in central Minsk, the confiscated things can hardly have any relation to these events.
