The leader of the rebellious policemen from Krychau believes that the “witch hunt” goes on.

Suspended head of the public order protection point of the Krychau police department, Lieutenant-Colonel of police Ihar Vusik stated he didn’t think the situation in the Krychau police department had been “localized”.

Mr.Vusik has expressed this opinion in a dialogue with the journalist of Mahiliou Region.

According to Ihar Vusik, tense atmosphere remains in the police department of Krychau. The police officer believes it is connected wit the fact that he was the only one who was dismissed upon the results of the agency check. The police department chief Stanislau Chupryn and his deputy V. Tsikhanenka remained at their positions. The pressure on the policemen of the department, who signed the appeal to the Interior Minister, is continued.

"So far, we have not received any official response to our appeal. There is no information about the measures taken on the facts indicated in the appeal. However, they were confirmed during the inspections. I do not think that the situation in the Krychau district police department is localized, as the Minister said, because no legal assessment has been given to the actions of the police department’s board, " – Ihar Vusik says.

I.Vusik notes that he is now considered to have been suspended from the post of the head of the public order protection point of the Krychau police department, although so far no one has ever made the corresponding order known to him. The Lieutenant-Colonel of the police takes to the service from 9-00 till 18-00 every day, and he is referred to as a local inspector in the decisions on protection of a public order.

“My name is not on the schedule, and in the operative group either, I have seen no order on suspension, – Ihar Vusik tells. – They don’t give me weapons, they don’t give me a car, according to the decision of the police department head Stanislau Chupryn. However, they give me materials for consideration on a regular basis, and I am obliged to handle them. I have been working without days-off lately. I realize they want to fire me for the discreditation of the police, and I don’t want to give them a single cause. Let this decision be a burden on the bosses’ conscience.”

The Lieutenant-Colonel of the police says that he and other officers of the Krychau district police department appealed to the Minister of Internal Affairs Ihar Shunevich for help, and as a result they themselves were to blame. At the same time, according to I. Vusik, despite the pressure, none of the policemen-signatories have withdrawn their signatures under the appeal addressed to the Minister.

Important to note, Minister of Internal Affairs of the Republic of Belarus Ihar Shunevich earlier said in a comment for BELTA that the general moral and psychological climate in the Krychau police department was quite calm, balanced and working. "The situation is localized," - the Minister summed up.

Head of the public order protection point of the Krychau district police department, Lieutenant-Colonel of police Ihar Vusik was temporarily suspended from office for the time of the internal check. The official check is scheduled due to the fact that Lieutenant-Colonel Vusik spoke on the Belsat TV channel and told about numerous violations in the Krychau district police department.
