Belarusian Law-Enforcers Go Against The Military

There are many detained near Lepel.

This week and next Monday, six names were noted in the schedule of the Lepel District Court. All those summoned to court are men, and they are accused of distributing “extremist” materials, the Telegram channel “Vitsebsk, I'm walking” reports.

Ivan Madelyus was to be tried on Thursday, Viktar Dubovik and Uladzislau Stakhovich — on Friday.

On Monday: Yahor Shmiarkou, Aliaksei Chernikau and Aleh Lyakh.

Searches for these names did not yield a single local resident, which immediately aroused suspicion. But the key clue was the name of the first “offender” — Ivan Madelyus. His VK profile was recently deleted (he is in the photo), the man serves in military unit 71327 in Zaslonava.

Brest resident Yahor Shmiarkou, who is to stand trial, also turned out to be subscribed to the VK public page of military unit 71327.

Meanwhile, the full namesake of Friday's defendant — the recent cadet of the Military Academy Uladzislau Stakhovich — appeared in Google searches.
