Andrei Sannikov: «Mean actions of authorities can exclude them from list of partners in negotiations with EU»

Forasmuch, such mean actions of the authorities can exclude them from the list of possible partners in the negotiations”, - Andrei Sannikov, participant of the negotiation group of the European March organizing committee, international coordinator of Charter’97 declared, commenting the 15 days arrests of the European March organizing committee member Zmiter Barodka, democratic activist Leanid Navitski, and human rights activist Sviatlana Harohavik.
