“Tikhari” gave woman hypertensive crisis

Yesterday evening Halina Hancharyk and her old friend Svyatlana Vyarhejchyk planned to meet with granddaughter Anya and her boyfriend.

They agreed to meet near the Palace of Railwaymen. Such promenades are to be taken by the women regularly for several years. But this time no one returned home, ucpb.org website informs.

Unknown people in mufti (“tikhari”) tried to seize Anya, however the elderly ladies stood up for their granddaughters. Tough goons unceremoniously threw all the women into the car. For the whole evening families of the detained women had been calling to different police departments, trying to receive any information at all. In the night Halina’s daughter, who kept the vigil near the police department of Kastrychnitski district, managed to see them being loaded into a paddy wagon and taken to the remand prison in Akrestsin Street.

Late at night Svyatlana Vyarheichyk was taken from the remand prison to hospital number 9 with a hypertensive crisis. The woman is in serious condition.

Journalists have managed to reach on the phone Svyatlana Vyarheichyk who stays in the hospital. She told that “together with Halina Hancharyk they had been sitting on a bench, when Anya and her boyfriend Kanstansin Myslitski came up. In no time the unknown in mufti attacked the young people. In the police department of Kastrychnitski district one of policemen hit her into the chest in such a way that she almost fell unconscious. She was taken bad, however, as other detainees, she was transported to the prison in Akrestsin Street.

The Political council of the United Civil Party is preparing an address to the Office of Prosecutor General related to the fact of taking by force members of the party Halina Hancharyk, Svyatlana Vyarheichyk and other activists detained in different cities all over Belarus.
