Pavel Vinahradau shown prophylactic films for nine hours at police station
At about 7 a.m. on 9 May the leader of
"Zmena" (the youth wing of the civil campaign "Tell
The Truth") Pavel Vinahradau was taken to the police station out
of his apartment. He was released from the police department only on
4.45 p.m.
Pavel Vinahradau said that at the police he had been
shown prophylactic films about the harm of drinking and about the
need to be attentive while driving. He says he was released at the
time when "Young Front" activist Uladzimir Yaromenak was
released from jail. It's worth noting that Pavel Vinahradau organized
the public meeting of Mr. Yaromenak at the entrance of the
delinquents' isolation center in Akrestsin Street.
To disrupt
the meeting, the police also drove Uladzimir Yaromenak 40 kilometers
away from Minsk and left him on the road. They also blocked his
cellular phone by entering the wrong PIN-code thrice. Nevertheless,
Yaromenak's friends brought him back to Akrestsin Street and the
meeting took place.
