Fans Taken away Poster with Prayer at Neman vs. BATE Match

The club employee said that "such things are not allowed in the stadium".

The situation occurred during the match between Neman and Barysau club on June 25, Hrodna.

The Petrevich from Hrodna decided to support their team with an excerpt from the Bible. But the security specialist of the Hrodna club did not like it and the poster was taken away. The reason is an unregistered banner, hrodna.life writes.

The family who painted a poster for several hours was resented by actions of the club's employee Siarhei Goyzh.

"A club employee came with the police and just took away the Word of God from us. He said that such things were not allowed in the stadium, Anastasia Petrevich tells. - What is wrong with it? We tried hard and spent the entire evening for this poster. Yes, we are believers and we pray for the Neman, our guys had a serious match with a strong opponent. We wanted God to help our favorite team to beat the champion of the country and that's why we had come with prayer to the match. Such a relationship ruins all the creativity. We came there with a prayer not a poster against the state.

Specialist for work with fans of the Hrodna club Volha Trafimovich looked at the poster of the Petrevichs and saw nothing forbidden there. Despite this, the poster the poster was taken away.

"According to the contents of the poster, there was nothing forbidden," Volha says. - There is nothing wrong with an excerpt from the Bible when people support the Neman. According to the rules, the banner should be registered or approved before the match by the inspector, but more active fans are informed about this. Therefore, I approached our fans, looked at the poster and made sure that everything was fine at the beginning of the match. Perhaps, the inspector should have been informed as well. I had no idea of such an end".

Both the police and the inspector saw nothing forbidden in that banner. But it was not back to the Petrevich.
