Criminal case against three BPF members reopened
The criminal case
against three members of the Belarusian Popular Front, Maksim Hubarevich, Ales
Kalita and Siarhei Semianiuk, suspected in hooliganism (Article 339 of the
Criminal Code) has been reopened. It was stated by Siarhei Semianiuk to
BelaPAN.
Hubarevich,
Semianiuk and Kalita are suspected of beating a security guard on 13 August in
the building where the office of the BPF was situated at the time. They face up
to six years in prison. They accuse the
guard of provoking the conflict after the end of the working hours, being in
inebriated state.
Semianiuk said he received a letter from the Tsentralny District Police Department
of Minsk concerning the reopening of the case. However, he hadn’t received any
papers concerning its suspension before it.
