At the session of the CoE Parliamentary Assembly there was held a meeting of the special commission for disappearances in Belarus, to which they invited spouses of the victims: Olga Zakharenko, Ludmila Karpenko, Irina Krasovskaya and also the former chief of the Minsk confinement center #1 Oleg Alkaev. It was his first ever floor before the commission.
Irina Krasovskaya came up with an exciting proposal. As far as Sergei Kovalev complained about not getting feedback to his inquiry, submitted to the investigative bodies of Belarus, Krasovskaya offered to him to make use of his high status in Russia. As a Russian parliamentarian Kovalev can file inquiries to, say, FSB and find information, which he was desperate to get in Minsk.
The meeting of the commission attracted numerous attendants. The hall, where the press-conference was hosted, was overfilled.
Commission members determined to personally address Lukashenko. May be, they said, he will answer something, if the law-enforcement bodies keep silent. They also decided to invite to their next meeting investigators Sluchek and Petrushkevich, so that they could share their findings and thoughts as well.
Vice-president of the internationally unrecognized parliament Vladimir Konoplev invited a few deputies from the PACE Liberal Group to the restaurant. The meeting turned out very scandalous, for the liberals, in their turn, invited to this official meeting Irina Krasovskaya. At seeing her there, Vladimir Konoplev, Andrei Losev and Belarusian envoy in CoE Valery Romashko declared that should Irina remain in the room, they would leave. Finally, the lady decided to go away in order not to create any problems for the Liberal deputies and the meeting proved to be very tense.
