Social
activist Dyiana Yakauleva was detained by the riot police and guarded
to the police station in Krylenka Street. Human rights defenders
Barys Bukhel and Aliaksei Kolchyn are trying to clear the
circumstances of the detention.
At 11.30-12.30 a.m. a
solidarity action, timed to the International Day of Solidarity with
the Civil Society of Belarus, was held in Mahiliou. During the
action, social activists handed out postcards with a portrait of the
imprisoned head of the Human Rights Center “Viasna” Ales
Bialiatski.
As stated by Mr. Kolchyn, the action went
peacefully, but after its end Dyiana Yakauleva was detained by the
riot police.
