Navapolatsk police also trace solidarity actions through Internet
Navapolatsk. Action of solidarity with Hrodna human rights defenders
The Navapolatsk activist Yauhen
Parchynski was summonsed to the police for photos with portraits of
Bialiatski at the entrance of the Navapolatsk City Court. Another
participant of the action, Siarhei Malashonak, says he is ready to
any development of the events, including a trial and a fine.
The
police showed to Yauhen Parhynski photos that were printed from
websites:
The head of the public security department Yury
Peniaz showed me the print-outs and put down my explanations. I
didn't refute anythings: yes, there was an action with Ales
Bialiatski and the Hrodna human rights defenders who had been fined
on the basis of such "Internet evidence" of an unauthorized
event. My explanations were put down in a police report, but I don't
know whether an administrative case has been brought.
The
action was held in Navapolatsk on 9 January: two activists got
photographed with portraits of Ales Bialiatski on the porch of the
city court. The Navapolatsk coordinator of the organizing committee
of the Belarusian Christian Democracy Siarhei Malashonak was also
photographed at the entrance of the city police department. However,
he hasn't received summons from police so far.
