Hrodna: journalist Ihar Bantsar detained

Ihar Bantsar’s wife Anzhalika Arehva has informed Euroradio about his detention. According to her, policemen have not informed about the reason for the arrest. Ihar’s whereabouts are unknown now.

Anzhalika Arehva thinks that Ihar’s detention may be connected with Andzhei Pachobut’s trial that will begin in Hrodna today. Activists of the Union of Poles are going to approach the building to support Pachobut. It seems that policemen are trying to summon some activists to the police department to prevent the peaceful action today.
