Zmitser Khvedaruk Interrogated in KGB :: Charter'97 :: News

KGB investigators have called in an activist of the Young Front Zmitser Khvedaruk (Fedaruk) for interrogation, Radio Svaboda informs. The Young Front activists do not rule out the possibility that the special services have summoned Khvedaruk for questioning intentionally to prevent one of the most active members from taking part in the street rally planned for St. Valentine’s Day.

Zmitser Khvedaruk and Aleh Korban were detained by KGB officers on February 4. The activists were detained in a remand prison of the KGB for three days.

They are suspects in a criminal case brought up for “participation in activities of an unregistered organization”.

The activists were released after they submitted a written undertaking to come for interrogations when summoned by investigators.

The Young Front leader Zmitser Dashkevich is serving a sentence of 1.5 years on the same charges. During the investigation he was kept in custody on a pretext that he had ignored a summons for questioning.
