Blue-Jeans Solidarity :: Charter'97 :: News

One of the Zubr coordinators Mikita Sasim (Nikita Sasim) has signed out from Minsk clinical hospital number 9, where he was placed with the diagnosis of craniocerebral trauma after a brutal disband on the sixth anniversary of abduction of the prime minister of Belarus Viktar Hanchar and businessman and public personality Anatol Krasouski.

20 activists of the Zubr movement were meeting Sasim from the hospital. As a sign of solidarity with their leader some activists were wearing jeans jackets, others fastened strips of jeans fabric to their cloths. During the action on September 16 after policemen seized white-red-white flags of the protesters, Mikita Sasim used his jeans shirt as a flag. He was cruelly beaten up for that.

“We shall continue resistance. Sooner or later we are to find out who had abducted Viktar Hanchar, Anatol Krasouski, Yury Zakharanka, Dzmitry Zavadski. No matter how authorities would oppose it. Thank you all for support,” Mikita Sasim said to his comrades who met him.
