Belsat contributor Yauhen Merkis detained for 'hooliganism' in Homiel


Law enforcers took the freelance journalist to the police station. According to them, Yauhen was swearing in public.

On May 1st, Yauhen planned to cover the sanctioned rally that Homiel opposition activists are planning to hold on the occasion of the “Labor Day” national holiday.

Now Yauhen is in the Navabelitski police station. Perhaps he will be taken to the temporary detention center.

According to another Homiel journalist Kastus Zhukouski, who also had planned to cover tomorrow’s protest, he is being followed by “criminals in police uniform”.
