Women, who wanted to meet with Lukashenka in order to present a petition “Against lawlessness in courts and prosecutor’s office”, were detained at the railway station in Minsk.

As “Salidarnasts” has learnt, the leader of the civil initiative “Against lawlessness in courts and prosecutor’s office” Tamara Siarhei was detained at the railway station. Several other women, activists of the initiative, were together with the lawyer. The women planned to arrive to the place of Lukashenka’s inauguration ceremony, in order to present him a petition, which they had been trying to bring to his administration since 2007.
- I arrived to the railway station in order to meet my fellow-thinkers from provinces. As soon as I entered the building from the central entrance, two policemen and a girl came up to me. The girl said that allegedly I had stolen her purse. These law-enforcers, Police Lieutenant Colonel Siarhei Harkovy and Senior Warrant Officer Siarhei Makhnach, refused for the girl to give her name, and they tried to take us to the police department at the railway station, – the lawyer Tamara Siarjei said in the moment of detention. – I think that our telephone conversations are eavesdropped, the authorities knew about our intentions, and it was a provocation. It’s horrible! What’s next – Kurapaty?

Since 2007 the women had been trying to obtain justice, protesting “Against lawlessness in courts and at the prosecutor’s office.” The day before they once again tried to present their petition to Lukashenka’s administration (it was a reception day), but they were denied. That is why in the noon of Friday they decided to come up to the new residence of the ruler, where the swearing-in ceremony is to take place, in order to try to meet Lukashenka personally.
