Factory raids: How law enforcement agencies raid enterprises

But that was not the end of it: in the months that followed, the factory was raided again. Apparently, the plant is ideologically "dangerous," and that's why in August ideologists held lectures there about the dangers of "extremism". They reported back with photos.

The aforementioned plant is part of the "Homselmash" holding. As is typical of the parent organization, they went further: in March, videos of interrogations of employees confessing to "disloyalty" appeared in the company's social feeds. Some of them showed signs of beatings. The head of one of the workshops was even charged with "treason".

The political police also investigated Homeltransneft, an oil pipeline operator. At least four people were detained at a time.

In mid-September, several employees of the local oil refinery in Mazyr were detained. The reason being that at parties they said "Glory to Ukraine!".

In the spring, as "Flagshtok" wrote, mass arrests took place in the enterprises of Rechitsa, but they were not named.

Glass factories, "Atlant", bakeries

At the beginning of September the law enforcement bodies raided the enterprises of Lida. There were arrests at "Lakakraska" and "Lidakhlebprodukt". The reason - subscriptions to "extremist" channels. Some were fined, others were detained for a day.
As Belpol reported, the law enforcers were actively supported by the management of "Lakakraska":

"The management of the factory called 15 workers and told them that they had to attend a meeting of the executive committee. The people were put on a bus provided by the administration, but they were taken not to the officials, but to the law enforcement officers," said the Association of ex-enforcers.

Among the enterprises of the Hrodna region the cleanup took place at the Navahrudak plant of gas equipment. The raid also took place in the glass factory "Neman" in Biaroza.

In the Brest region, law enforcement officials were particularly interested in the Baranavichy branch of the Atlant machine tool factory. In August it was reported that the reason for the interest was the photo of August 14, 2020, where the employees of the enterprise supported the protest. It is not known if there were only "list" dismissals or if there were also arrests.
