The under age ZUBR activist Julia Bandarenka was beaten up when the police was dispersing the action “Time to Response”. The action was held near the public prosecutor’s office in Minsk on January 23 and was devoted to the politicians’ missing in Belarus. “At the action a lieutenant colonel came up to me asked me to follow him, then grabbed and pulled me to the car. I got a heavy blow on my face. I recovered in the car. My lips were bleeding…” said Julia Bandarenka to the Charter press center.
Julia Bandarenka and other detainees spent three and a half hours in the Central Department of Internal Affairs, where she was questioned and threatened by “three days of arrest”.
“I had serious headaches, so that my father and I went to hospital 2 in Minsk, where I got a diagnosis “a light concussion of the brain” and I was sent to hospital 9 for hospitalization. The doctor there did not prove the diagnosis and sent me home. Today I got examined by forensic medical collegium and they noted a scratch on the lip only,” said Julia Bandarenka.
