KGB brings another lawsuit against Young Front. This morning in Salihorsk KGB agents took two youth activists Ryhor Astapenka and Siarhei Tkachuk from school to the local department for interrogation. Other two activists Maksim Hamitsevich and Zmitzer Yafimovich received summons for interrogations. These lawsuits were brought by captain of the regional KGB Zmitser Svistun who in majority of cases personally interrogated the youth activists and made decisions on bringing criminal lawsuits. It is the same person who ordered to detain the Young Front members and keep them in the isolation ward in February this year.

According to the press service of the Young Front the actions of the KGB have resulted in the conclusion that the regime does not intend to stop repressions against the Young Front activists even after the sound court hearing of Zmitser Dashkevich’s case and the coming court hearing of cases of the Young Front activists Zmitser Fedaruk, Barys Haretski, Nasta Palazhanka, Aliaksei Yanusheuski and Aleh Korban who are charged with actions on behalf of unregistered organization.
