Berlin has condemned the Belarusian court’s decision to punish opposition activist Vasil Parfyankou for taking part in post-election protest actions against Alyaksandr Lukashenka.

Uladzimir Skrabatun thinks that the reason for the check-up may be some article in the newspaper.

The applications for two different rallies, filed before, were withdrawn. The organizers agreed upon a single variant of actions.

According to the public prosecutor, Vasil Parfiankou participated in mass disturbances, hit the House of Government 61 times and resisted to the police.

Brest activist Kasia Pashko's interrogation in the chief administration for struggle with organized criminality and corruption lasted for 2 hours.

Iryna Khalip's ex-lawyer has been deprived from licence because of this, but he disagrees with this decision and is going to claim it in court.

The interrogation lasted for 2 hours. The questions concerned December 19 events and his activity in the "Young Front".

Lawyers Aleh Aheeu, Tatsiana Aheeva, Uladzimir Toustsik and Tamara Haraeva have been deprived from licences.

The Vice-Chairman of the "Young Front" Mikalaj Dzemidzenka is summoned to the KGB for an interrogation as a witness in the "mass disturbances" case.
