Emergency Report Of Mikalai Statkevich's Lawyer
MIKALAI STATKEVICH

Absurd suspicions have been brought against the leader of the opposition.

On June 30, lawyer Uladzimir Sazanchuk met with the leader of the Belarusian National Congress and head of the Narodnaya Hramada party, Mikalai Statkevich, at the detention center № 1 of the Ministry of Internal Affairs in Minsk, where he had been transferred from the detention facility.

Maryna Adamovich, wife of political prisoner, informed the Charter97.org website about it. According to her, the lawyer informed her of the following:

- Mikalai Statkevich sends greetings to all people of good will who support him. As Statkevich said, "all honor to them!".

He said that on behalf of the head of the investigation group of the Investigative Committee, Colonel Ahafonau, they announced him that he was suspected of committing a crime under Part 1 Article 342 of the Criminal Code of Belarus.

The essence of the suspicions is that Statkevich, allegedly in "a group of people upon prior conspiracy with Tsikhanouski, Aranovich, Sakau, Furmanau, Novikau and other persons, having distributed the roles and agreed upon the actions, under the formal excuse of collecting voters' signatures in support of nominating Sviatlana Tsikhanouskaya as a candidate for presidency, by picketing, organized group actions on May 29, 2020 at Savetskaya Square in Hrodna, in the form of an illegal mass event - a rally, grossly violating public order and associated with apparent disobedience to the demands of the authorities, expressed in deliberate violence and threats of violence against the police officers in order to prevent their legitimate activities and forcing them to change the nature of these activities" ...

In other words, the essence of the suspicions is the same as that of the suspicions against the other arrested guys, and they are all united in one case.

Statkevich, according to the lawyer, categorically rejects the abovementioned absurd suspicions, points out that he did not commit any crime, and the last time he was in Hrodna was last autumn of last year.

Statkevich said that while he was serving his arrest in prison in Akrestsina in the administrative case, there had been all kinds of provocations, the details of which he did not have time to report.

The meeting with the lawyer lasted about 10-15 minutes.
