Local activists of Belarusian Christian Democracy held an action of solidarity with the journalist of the Polish Gazeta Wyborcza Andrzej Paczobut.

They disseminated a lot of leaflets demanding to stop the criminal proceedings against the journalist on alleged slandering Lukashenka, the BChD press-service reports.

We would remind that the reason for commencing the legal proceedings were the journalist’s publications on independent web-sites.

The Polish Gazeta Wyborcza’s reporter was detained in his apartment in Grodna on 21 June. Before that there was a search in the premises and the computers were confiscated. Andrzej Paczobut was detained in the Grodno prison until 30 June and then released on own recognizance with restricted travel.
