The “Young Front” activist had been released from jail three days ago, after serving 10-day arrest for handing out invitations to the People's Assembly.

The detention took place at about 11 a.m. on 4 October. According to Mikola Bianko, the correspondent for Radio “Racyja” who was present during the detention, two riot policemen approached them. They said that somebody had stolen something from apartments not far from the regional library, as a result of which they needed to find some cellular phones.

As a result, Andrei Tsianiuta was detained and guarded to the Chyhunachny District Police Department. In fact, his detention was connected to the fact that he is a member of the organizing committee of the People's Assembly. At the police department Andrei had a talk with the head of the public order department, Aliaksandr Koshman, who made him sign a warning about the possible punishment for the organization of the People's Assembly. Koshman also said that such warning would also be issued to other organizers of the assembly in Homel, including Vasil Paliakou, chairman of the Homel regional branch of the United Civil Party.
