Looking for relatives at police departments is a crime

Aliaksandr Kuushynau was detained on Pryvakzalnaya Square during the silent protest action of 3 July. His mother, Tatsiana Kuushynava, went to the Maskouski District Police Department in order to find about the fate of her son. However, she wasn't allowed to enter the DPD.

The police lieutenant Yaromenka considered it as “unlawful penetration of the building of the Maskouski DPD of Minsk” and charged her with violation of Article 23.4 of the Code of Administrative Offenses, “insubordination to lawful demands of a public agent”.
