The Vitsebsk oppositionist wanted to congratulate his countrymen on the Freedom Day.

The famous Vitsebsk oppositionist Barys Khamaida was detained at 11 o'clock on March 25 at the corner of the “blue house” in Vitsebsk. He was holding a flag of the city and a self-made poster with a quote by Russian writer Ivan Bunin: “The city (Vitsebsk) is ancient and non-Russian.” Thus, Barys Khamaida congratulated the residents of Vitsebsk on the Freedom Day, the Vitsebsk Spring reports.

People in civilian clothes who introduced themselves to him as policemen detained Khamaida. The oppositionist stood with a poster for about 10 minutes while employees in civilian clothes were waiting inside a police car.

As it became known, Barys Khamaida was taken to the Chyhunachny district police department in Vitsebsk. It remains unknown what he is charged with.

This is the second arrest of Barys Khamaida since the beginning of the year. Previously, he was detained on the Constitution Day on March 14. The policemen of the Chyhunachny district department of internal affairs made the administrative protocol.
