Dinamo Minsk fans escorted as court prisoners

Minsk-based club is filing a complaint against the actions of policemen and organisers of the match with Neman.

The official website of the football club Dinamo Minsk has posted a report how fans visited the out game in Hrodna. Starting from Minsk, the group of fans of the “white and blue” was escorted as prisoners, Euroradio informs.

Fans were not allowed to stop on their way in normal cafés or WCs. On the stadium in Hrodna they were encircled by pedestrian turnstiles. They were not allowed to buy fast food. As a result, people who left Minsk at 6 a.m., had to fast until 3 p.m. The inhuman treatment was experienced also by employees of Dinamo Minsk football club: a security officer, a marketing consultant and an expert on work with fans.

As representatives of Dinamo Minsk football club said, the club has prepared complaints to law-enforcing agencies, which escorted the fans. The letters with complaints have been sent to Hrodna stadium and to the department of games of the Football federation. When answers will be received, the club promises to announce widely about their contents.

“People travelled with their children, there were women and young girls there, and then, look at that! We are going to inform about any reaction as soon as it is received… People go to hockey matches. And then the same people go to football matches, and attitude to them is completely different there,” said the spokesperson of Minsk football club Vasily Knyazyuk.

By the way, since this year Dinamo fans received an access to the innovative ticket program in Belarus. a person having a football season pass can go to out games of the club. Last year there was not a single hooligan incident during such bus tours to other cities. That is why it was an unpleasant surprise for Dinamo fans from Minsk, how they were treated during the match in Hrodna.
