Raid against national bolsheviks near Minsk

Police and KGB detained national bolsheviks with the use of tear gas.

As the activists reported to the charter97.org, they were having a sporting field training near the Voukavichy water storage basin in Minsk district on 10 August.

As soon as the activists put on tents, their camp was surrounded by six cars, and people in mufti and police uniform came out of those. They did not introduce themselves and using the physical force put the activists on the ground. At the same time special means – tear gas and handcuffs – were used against Dzianis Sakhar and underage Aliaksandr Paliakou. Then the policemen searched the backpacks of the camp’s residents.

The activists had newspapers and attributes confiscated. During the search the policemen and KGB agents spoke exclusively in foul language, made threats, used intimidation and physical force. After that 11 national bolsheviks were taken to Zhdanovichy police station, where protocols were composed against them and the resolutions made, that had been drinking alcohol at a public place, although the incident took place in a forest and the camp’s participants did not drink alcohol since it was of a sporting nature.

At the same time the deputy head of the police station mayor Piatkievich made resolutions as to holding the event’s participants responsible and fined for 100-800 thousand roubles.

Dzianis Sakhar was taken under guard to an investigation jail in Minsk district, because a protocol was composed against him for resisting the police.

The organization’s activists consider the raid a KGB’s revenge for the recent action against the conscription slavery, for which the Committee did not manage to hold responsible practically anyone of the national bolsheviks, because protocols against them were composed with multiple violations.
