Authorities fear boycott: KGB searched Young Front office

11

The Young Front office was searched yesterday. Office equipment and informational materials, calling to boycott the parliamentary “elections”, were seized.

As one of the Young Front leaders Artur Finkevich told to the Charter’97 press center, people in civvies watched outside the building of the office on Karol Street for more than an hour and tried to force the door. After 10.00 pm KGB officers managed to enter the office: they burst into it when one of the members of the organisation tried to leave the office.

During a search, conducted by KGB and militia officers, office equipment, stickers, information materials, posters, calling to boycott the “elections” were seized. The activists, who were in the apartment, weren’t allowed to phone.

“It is another evidence that the regime fears the boycott. Boycott is the only right position of the democratic forces in this electoral campaign, because only by this way we can consolidate the society, ingrain confidence in future and gather as many people as possible in streets on 28 September,” Artur Finkevich commented the search in the Young Front office.
