Soldiers went on hunger strike in military unit near Asipovichy?

Soldiers went on hunger strike in the military unit 44540 due to the inadequate behavior of the command.

The charter97.org web-site has learnt about that from a reader, whose friend serves at the military unit.

“Due to indecent behavior of the command of the military unit 44540 of the Asipovichy district’s Lapichy cantonment a number of soldiers went on a hunger strike on 20 July.

The unit’s command treats soldiers with prejudice, expresses its subjective opinion without any facts, and also tries hard to punish the soldiers, who try to stand for their rights and the rights of their comrades. Threats of initiating criminal cases on no grounds are also not rare. The command has confined soldiers to barracks – now there is total control over all the activities of soldiers day and night. Several personal searches are carried out a day, they search all the possible storage places, mobile phones, chargers. The command does not explain the reasons for what is happening”, - the reader wrote.

The political supervisor of the military unit 44540 Viachaslau Bielakou disproved this information.

“There was no hunger strike. The soldiers are on duty in the usual regime”, - the military man told a charter97.org’s reporter.
