“Zmitser Shukhrai was detained at the central bus station in Brest at 7:15 p.m. He was convoyed to the Leninski district police department to check publisher’s information of the printed materials he allegedly had.  He probably had materials relating to a boycott of the parliamentary election.” He said.

The activist was released after spending 3 hours in the police department.
