Pavel Svyardlou's appeal to be considered on June 29
It has been sent to Minsk city court.
The consideration of the appeal has been
appointed at 15.00. Let us remind you, Euroradio's journalist Pavel Svyardlou was detained last Friday at 10 a.m.
near the entrance to his house. Svyardlou was delivered to the court on that
very day in the afternoon and was sentenced to 15 days of detention for
swearing in public. On the same day, several special vehicles kept duty near
Euroradio's office, and the people in plain clothes who introduced themselves
as l=policemen to the keeper of the building asked about another journalist - Vital Ruhain.
Euroradio's
staff tend to think that the arrest of Pavel Svyardlou and pressure on other
journalists are connected with their professional activity and certain
publications in particular - the material about walking through the metro
following Kanavalau's route, with a big bag.
