“Security services in Brest continue their attempts to break the morale of the new leader of the democratic forces of the city and the region Natallia Papkova. In recent weeks, the courageous girl was several times placed under administrative arrest, fined, even illegally forcibly taken to the “loony bin”. It became known that tonight the police again arrested Natallia. She is now in the Leninsky district police department of Brest. Friends of Natallia Papkova report that there was a provocation organized against her. We are closely monitoring the situation and will do everything possible to protect Natallia”.
