Painter Ales Pushkin detained in Minsk

Pushkin has managed to inform Radio Liberty about it. However, he did not have time to say where and why he had been detained. The painter is not answering his phone now. Minsk Lenin District Department of the Interior claims that the painter has not been delivered there.

Ales Pushkin organized an art performance on December 2. He visited the Supreme Court with a  portrait of anti-Soviet resistance fighter Rastsislau Lapitski.  The painter came to appeal the decision of Smarhon District Court that had jailed him for 10 days for the same performance in September.
