Criminal case instigated against Lyapis Trubetskoy frontman?
Musician Siarhei Mikhalok can be punished for his
audacious remarks criticizing the authorities.
As belaruspartisan.org has learnt from reliable sources, a criminal case was
opened against Siarhei Mikhalok, the
leader of the iconic Belarusian music band Lyapis Trubetskoy.
The new prosecutor general decided to fawn on Lukashenka and ordered to
initiate a criminal case against the famous musician. The case was opened by
the prosecutor’s office of the Tsentralny district of Minsk. He is charged with
insulting Lukashenka.
The musician is on tour in Russia
now. He declined to give expanded comments. “I do not know any details. Yes, a
summons to appear in the prosecutor’s office for questioning was delivered. The
summons was received by my mother, who was at home at that time. I’ll clear it
up when I return to Minsk,”
Suarhei Mikhalok said.
Mikhalok has recently given some scandalous interviews, which caused hatred of
the Belarusian authorities.
“He is not a president. He gathered “black” brigades around him and carries out
genocide of Belarusians”. “He is a man that hates his nation. In best case, he
deserves fair trial. But such criminals as Lukashenka do not leave witnesses of
their crimes,” the frontman of Lyapis Trubetskoy said in an interview to
