Leaders of strike committee Valery Levaneuski and Alyaksandr Vasilyeu have been detained today morning on their way to Minsk, where a meeting of businessmen is planned. Levaneuski and Vasilyeu have been detained by traffic policemen when they left Hrodna. As the Charter’97 press-center has been informed by Valery Levaneuski, policemen stated that his car had been registered as stolen. Later this accusation was lifted, but the entrepreneurs were taken to the Interior Affairs department of Hrodna region.
Today in the Park of Nations’ Freedom near Bangalore Square in Minsk a meeting of self-employed entrepreneurs is to take place. They protest against presidential decree No. 760 which bans use of hired help except relatives since January 1, 2008.
