The trial over the five Zubr members, accused of insulting Alyaxandar Lukashenka, was rescheduled for March 14. At the yesterday’s hearing of the court two witnesses of the defense and the investigator were interrogated. The two witnesses, women born in 1920 and 1917, could not give comprehensible evidence. The investigator of the case of Lukashenka’s insult said at the trial that the masks worn by the Zubr activists, “represent the face of our president”, that caused a burst of laughter in the audience. After the dinner break the attorney of Mikhail Kisialou, Maxim Patupchyk, Ales Paulovich, Dzianis Senakosau and Zmitser Shalashkou appealed to order a complex examination of all things confiscated after arrest on August 14 by experts in psychiatry and art. But judge Kholadava rejected the appeal saying that it is not necessary. After that the break in hearings until March 14 was announced.
