Special Services Take Interest in People’s March “For Better Life!” :: Charter'97 :: News

ZUBR movement’s activist Denis Chikalev was detained and interrogated by plain-clothed agents.
Chikalev tells that on February 10, when he was strolling down the Lenin’s prospect in Gomel, a black vehicle with dark window-shields pulled over near him. A few big men in civilian jumped out of it. They twisted the guy’s arms behind his back and threw into the rear seat of the car. Some cabbies tried to protect the young fellow but one of the attackers flashed some documents and the tax drivers no longer interfered. ZUBR activist said he has no idea as to where they drove him, but in 10-15 minutes time he heard how someone opened iron gates. Denis was taken out of the car and brought to the third floor of some building.

For two hours a man, who never identified himself, has been posing his questions to Denis about the People’s March “For Better Life!”. ZUBR activist replied none of them. Then they got him back in a car and delivered to the place, from which they had previously seized him.
