Search in Syamon Domash’s Office Leaves All Documentation and Equipment Confiscated 11:14, 10/08/2001
Arbitrary search in the Grodno headquarters of the potential runner for the president, chairman of the Grodno organization “Ratusha”, was carried out in Grodno by the police from the department for economic criminality. Although they had no right to search “Ratusha” headquarters, they all the same seized the documents, PCs and other equipment. No explanations of their unlawful actions were provided.
Moreover, deputy head of the police department Sergei Buch, who was in charge of the search and confiscation, behaved in a very boorish and insolent manner, saying that he wouldn’t explain them anything, for “if I’m wrong, the procuracy will correct me”. It goes without saying that one cannot trust the procuracy, chaired by Lukashenko’s closest henchman Viktor Sheiman.
The law-enforcers referred to decree#8, which allegedly allows them to search public organizations and clarify the origin of their finances.
Head of the public association Alexander Milinkevich urgently left for Grono. As for Domash, he remains in Minsk. The candidate intends to petition CEC with a concomitant complaint.
