Home: assault on canvasseur
Canvassing in support of the candidacy of civil
activist Ihar Sluchak ended with a conflict. Ihar and his brother were
collecting signatures in Bratou Liziukovykh Street. A man ran out from one of
the apartments in a block house and tried to provoke a fight.
Ihar Sluchak put out a mobile phone in order to call the police, but the police
hit him on the arm, as a result of which the telephone fell down and broke into
pieces.
After the incident Ihar called the police and filed an application with the
demand to punish the hooligan. According to the activist, the elector was angry
not at him, but at the electoral campaign in general and shouted that all this
was swindle.
As we have already written, the peculiarity of Ihar Sluchak's campaign is that
he gathered his electoral team in the social networks and is going to use this
resource as much as possible during the electoral campaign. He intends to
continue running till the end. His electoral team has already collected about
1,000 signatures in his support.
