Football fans with white-red-white symbols detained in Homel 16:59, 28/06/2007
Four young men with white-red-white symbols were detained by special purpose police unit on June 28 in the evening after a football match of premier league teams, Homel-Dinamo (Brest).
As the BelaPAN agency was told by a student Ihar Sluchak, at about 9 p.m. he and his friends returned from the stadium. “Suddenly riot policemen came up to us and started insulting us. They sneered at a young man, who looked as an adherent of nonconformist youth subculture. Then they dragged us to the police bus. Policemen were swearing, and threatened to cut long hair of one of the guys. We haven’t been told the reason of our detention; the policemen hadn’t told their names. They just swore and sneered at us. The most likely reason of detention was white-red-white symbols at our clothes and bags,” Ihar Slutchak said.
As said by him, the detainees were held in the bus for about half an hour. Then their passport details were copied, and they were released.
