Minsk dweller kept out of building as he had white-red-white badge

Andrei Tserashko was refused entry to a building of a city security services department, as he had a badge with banned national symbols.

He wrote about that on his Facebook page.

“A police lieutenant colonel, Yauhen Alyaksandravich Serykau, has just expelled me from the building of Minsk city department of security, which I visited out of exigencies of business, as I needed a consultation,” - he writes. “The reason was a badge with a white-red-white flag on my clothes. What could you advise me?”

The white-red-white flag was banned by Lukashenka in 1995.
