On February 22, two youth opposition activists, Mikalai Dzemidzenka and Zmitser Kremianetski, were detained at the Ukrainian border and denied entry to Ukraine for 5 years. After that, there appeared Belarusian police, who detained the guys for allegedly using foul language.
They were taken to the local police department and charged with an administrative offense, backed by five police reports.
The activists denied their guilt.
As a result, both stood trial yesterday and were sentenced to 10 days of arrest each.
