Uladzimir Yaromenak was forcefully taken to the Partyzanski District Police Department to give explanations regarding the incident.

The “Young Front” member went to the Pershamaiski district corrections office for a check yesterday. Uladzimir Yaromenak met some policemen in inspector's office:

“The said they were criminal investigators from the Partyzanski DPD and said the needed me. I asked why and they answered they just needed me for a short time. I tried to phone my lawyer, but they took away my cell phone and took me to the police department. I was waiting for an investigator for two hours.”

The questioning lasted for five minutes, the “Young Front” activist says:

“The investigators asked about my conviction and asked what I had been doing on 6 November. I was at the Maskouski DPD at the moment of the attack on the Lithuanian embassy. I was detained for pouring valerian extract on the statue of Lenin. I told this to the investigator. He asked how I had learned about the attack. I replied I had read it in the media.”

The police wanted Uladzimir Yaromenak when he was in the detention center: “A policeman came to the detention center on 7 November to hear my explanations regarding the attack on the Lithuanian embassy, but I refused to talk to him because I knew nothing about the incident. I later read on the Internet what had happened.”
