Riot militiamen were waiting for opposition activists to leave the UCP office. Alyaksei Bondar and Ales Straltsou phoned to the investigation committee of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, conducting the case, and promised to come for questioning.
A number of statements were made on the press conference. The politicians think using of road militia against demonstrants on 10 January was a special provocation of the authorities.
“All accused people served the administrative arrests. That is why we think such actions are hostage taking for bargaining with the European Union,” Young Front member Uladzimir Syarheyeu said commenting on the criminal case.
