Prominent Belarusian human rights activist Aleh Volchak was arrested by police in Minsk on Friday.
As Mr. Volchak, a former prosecutorial investigator, told BelaPAN over the phone, after he left home to go to a post office, a policeman came up to him, checked his ID and said that he was being arrested.
Mr. Volchak was taken to the Maskowski district police station where he was accused of disorderly conduct.
Mr. Volchak managed to say that he was being driven to the detention center on Akrestsina Street where he would apparently be held until his trial in the Maskowski District Court on Monday. //BelaPAN
