Ex-political prisoner suggests opposition members to check at lie detector
Head of presidential candidate Mikalaj Statkevich's electoral HQ Syarhei Martsaleu came up with such initiative.
According to Martsaleu's words quoted by BelaPAN, the leaders of the opposition, mentioned in the
Dec.19, 2010 criminal case, are going to take part in the parliamentary
electoral campaign in one way or another. However, the people involved in that
criminal case were often accused that they had agreed to cooperate with the
special services under the pressure. The reason for this was Ales Mikhalevich's
confession and repentance letters of some political prisoners.
This
caused the situation when the opposition leaders do not trust each other while
the special services cultivate the rumours about such recruitment, Martsaleu
says. In order to get rid of all doubts he suggests checking at lie
detector.
The
opposition leaders and other key figures of the parliamentary campaign, in
Martsaleu's opinion, should confirm that they cooperate with neither
Belarusian, nor foreign special services. He says that he is ready to be
checked first, and suggests that the independent media should control the
process.
