“Tovarishch” newspaper editor and UCP activist arrested and sent to remand jail

Syarhei Voznyak and Andrei Dzmitryeu have been called suspects in a criminal case in connection with which mass searched were carried out on May 18.

Syarhei Kalyakin, the leader of the Fair World party, confirmed information about the journalist’s detention to the charter97.org website. We remind that Syarhei Vaznyak’s newspaper “Tovatishch” is published by this party.

The journalist has been put under arrest for three day until a measure of restrained is chosen.

The same happened to activist of the United Civil Party Andrei Dzmitryeu after his interrogation.

We remind that the criminal case is initiated under article 250 of the Criminal Code of Belarus (dissemination of false information about goods and services). In connection with the criminal case, activists of the “Say the Truth!” civil campaign were searched all over the country on May 18. Dozens of activists were questioned; computers and printed materials were seized from their apartments and offices. It is still unclear how materials of the “Say the Truth!” campaign relate to the criminal case.
