Kanstantsin Lukashou, a brother of the public activist Vyachaslau Siuchyk, who had been placed to a remand prison, has been charged with resistance to police workers. V. Siuchyk informed about that to BelaPAN news agency. As said by him, the charge had been served on him on the 15th day of Lukashou’s stay in the remand prison.
“All norms of the Belarusian legislation have been violated by that,” V. Siuchyk said. In this connection K. Lukashou’s lawyer Valyantsina Shykhantsova has filed a complaint to the head of the remand prison and demanded to release K. Lukashou immediately.
As V. Siuchyk says, today in the remand prison K. Lukashou has been visited by an investigator who tried to interrogate him. “But Konstantsin refused to give evidence, as he considers himself innocent, and a criminal action against him just cannot exist. That is why it is senseless to give evidence, he believes,” V. Siuchyk told.
As we have informed, K. Lukashou was detained on December 19. According to reports, he is charged with an automobile-pedestrian accident when he ran into a policeman on March 29 last year while K. Lukashou was transporting his brother Vyachaslau Siuchyk from a surgery department of hospital No.3 in Minsk. On that day unknown persons with Ids of Interior Ministry workers were trying to detain Siuchyk after he was discharged from hospital. However the brother helped the activist to escape detention.
“I would like to underline once again that people who were trying to detain me, hadn’t presented themselves, they were not dressed in uniform, they looked more like bandits than policemen,” V. Siuchyk said.
