Policemen finger-print relatives of late BNF member

Policemen and KGB members continue interrogating activists of opposition parties and organizations in different regions of the country in connection with the explosion that took place in Minsk on July 4. They have finger-printed the relatives of a BNF member Kanstanstin Myslivets who died more than two years ago. This is what a Brest human rights activist Uladzimir Vyalichkin told ERB:

"Three people in plain clothes visited Halina, the widow of the late Kantstantsin Myslivets and his step-son Kiryl. They asked them where they had been and what they had been doing on the day of the explosion in Minsk. They finger-printed the pensioner and the guy. Then they left”.

Vyalichkin noted that the Myslivets was a family known very well in Drahichyn District. Kanstantsin Myslivets was a BNF member from the very start and the leader of the opposition movement if Drahichyn District. He did not bear the psychological pressure caused by the last presidential election campaign and died.

The attention to the family of Kanstantsin Myslivets may also be caused by the fact that his father and a 16 year-old brother fought against the Soviet authorities after the war. They were members of an anti-Bolshevist group and perished in a battle in 1951.
