Police raid on Belarus Free Theatre

Police officers visited the play Nearest and Dearest on the evening of January 10.

The information was spread by Free Theatre stage director Uladzimir Shcherban on his Facebook account.

“The play Nearest and Dearest has just begun. Before the beginning, our brave police arrived like Santa Claus at a New Year's Eve kids party. They wrote down passport information of all people present and went away. Let's thank them for that, though they could have already remember the passport data. There's a good saying 'Your new life is only continuation of the old one'. One cannot say better. Happy New Year, comrades,” the stage director wrote.

The police have visited Free Theatre performances three times for the last month to wrote down passport information of spectators.
