FEMEN: “Lie on your hockey sticks, no ice hockey championship in Belarus”

Activists of Ukrainian group FEMEN support the demands to move ice hockey world championship from Belarus to any country respecting human rights.

“We launch a campaign “lie on your hockey sticks”. We hold details in secret so far, but will be an ambitious campaign, painful and unpleasant for Belarusian officials. We will do our best to inform the world community about the events in Belarus. There will be no ice hockey championship in Belarus,” movement head Anna Gutsol told BelaPAN.

Gutsol said commenting on the refusal of Yelsk police to open a criminal case over an incident with FEMEN activists: “We are not surprised. I am convinced there was no proper investigation. They did not talk to our girls, did not ask to give them medical reports. This again proves our girls were kidnapped by the secret services and police just cover their colleagues.”
