Trial of two opposition activists in Vitsyebsk postponed to Thursday

 

The trial of two young opposition activists arrested in Vitsyebsk on Saturday after putting up a sign has been postponed to February 21.

Stanislaw Lawrenaw and Alyaksey Kishchuk, members of Belarusian Christian Democracy (BCD), were held in a detention center following their arrest, Tatsyana Sevyarynets, the unregistered party's coordinator in the Vitsyebsk region, told BelaPAN.

On Monday, Judge Ina Hrabowskaya of the Kastrychnitski District Court ordered a postponement of their trial after the two men demanded lawyers.

Messrs. Lawrenaw and Kishchuk were released in the courtroom.

They were apprehended by police after hanging a sign saying "Freedom to Political Prisoners" near Liberty Square in the center of the city in northern Belarus.

The young men displayed the sign as part of a nationwide campaign in support of political prisoners that began on February 13.
