Opposition youth fined $145 for pasting up «Jeans for Freedom!» stickers 18:22, 29/01/2007
A commission of the administration of Minsk`s Partizansky district on January 26 imposed a fine of 310,000 rubels ($145) on opposition activist Aleksei Shidlovsky for pasting up "Jeans for Freedom!" stickers.
The leader of an unregistered opposition youth group called Zubr (Bison) was caught by police at the center of Minsk on January 8. He was taken to the Partizansky district police department and charged under Aleksandr Lukashenko`s January 16, 2006 presidential decree that toughened penalties for violations of regulations governing the maintenance and landscaping of populated areas, told BelaPAN.
The young man was fined the same amount for the same offense in November 2006.
In the late 1990s, he served 18 months in prison for spray-painting anti-Lukashenko slogans in the city of Stolbtsy, Minsk region. In 2001, he was sentenced to a two-year corrective labor term for spray-painting "Zubr" on residential buildings in central Minsk.
