The Financial Investigations Department (FID) wants to know whether she cooperated with the arrested Ales Bialiatski and what relations she has to the Human Rights Center Viasna.

The interrogation will take place at 3 p.m. on 6 September. Today Tatsiana intends to conduct an agreement with a lawyer.

Meanwhile, last week human rights defenders passed more than 800 personal guarantees for Ales Bialiatski to the FID. According to Tatsiana Raviaka, some of the guarantors have already received official answers from the investigation.

Ales Bialiatski, vice-President of the International Federation for Human Rights (FIDH) was detained by FID officers on 4 August. He is charged with concealment of profits on an especially large scale (the case concerns the money kept on his personal accounts abroad and spent on support to victims of political repressions, including figurants events of 19 December 2010). Bialiatski has been kept in the remand prison for a month already.
