Detentions in Smalyavichy

Activists of Tell the Truth campaign and chair of Rechanka gardeners' partnership were detained in Smalyavichy.

The deputy head of Tell the Truth campaign, Andrei Dzmitryeu, campaign activists Mikhail Pashkevich, Yury Hanchar and head of the local gardeners' partnership Vasily Kazlouski were detained in Smalyavichy on the evening of April 12.

Having been detained at a country community meeting, the people were taken to a local police department.

They were released some hours later. Activists report on Facebook some of them were charged with “organizing an unauthorized mass event”.

“They have police reports against them. An investigation in the administrative case 'gathering of more that three people' is in progress,” Andrei Dzmitryeu wrote on Facebook.

We remind dwellers of a number of villages of the Smalyavichy district and owners of summer cottages  protest against construction of a Belarusian-Chinese technology park.

Some participants of the yesterday country community meeting, which attracted about 50 people, raised a question of the technology park construction. But the chair of the Smalyavichy district executive committee answered the meetings was to deal only technical issues relating to the work of the gardeners' partnership and the problem of the tech park could not be discussed.

Tell the Truth campaign renders legal and information support to dwellers of the Smalyavichy district, who oppose construction of the industrial park.
