Chernobyl Way : Militia purposefully endangered lives of people (Photo) :: Charter'97 :: News

The authorities and militia purposefully endangered lives of the Chernobyl Way participants. The militia and road inspection ordered the people to walk over sidewalks of Surhanau street which are now being repaired. It was impossible to walk there because there were heaps of rubbish, holes , pieces of brick and asphalt, builders` wagons. The action organizers and participants several times appealed to heads of the militia and special regiment and to the road inspection for allowing people to walk over the road at least in those parts of the street where it was impossible to walk on the sidewalks. But they with crazy persistence were ordering through the loudspeakers to walk over the broken road. Obviously the Naymiha stampede didn`t teach militia anything because nobody answered for the lost 53 lives.

According to coordinator of the Charter`97 Zmitser Bandarenka the prosecutor`s office must bring a lawsuit against the officials of the special regiment and the Minsk city executive committee for failure to provide order and security during the sanctioned mass action, for their purposeful endangering lives of the people.

Sub-colonel Padabed laughed when I was showing him heaps of broken brick and holes in the sidewalks. He is not an officer .He is a coward, ready to fulfill any order If he were an officer he would pull that scoundrel in the uniform repeating as a parrot «Walk on sidewalks!»out of the vehicle

How could the officials of the Minsk city executive committee order people to move on the sidewalks along Surhanau street where the construction works are conducted on both sides?

Criminal orders: "Walk on sidewalks!" were heard out of this vehicle.

"Walk on sidewalks!" policemen ordered
