At about 4.30 p.m. on 8 October Belarusian border
guards took away the passports of human rights defenders viktar Sazonau (in the
photo) and Yan Roman, who were returning home from Bialystok. They were kept in the hall of the
customs office for some time, but were returned their passports and let go
after they demanded the complaint book.
Bear in mind that some time ago the surnames of some Belarusian human rights
defenders were put on a special list, as a result of which they used to be
subject to a thorough personal examination each time they crossed the
Belarusian border. Later this practice was abolished. This incident may be a
sign of its return.
