Trials of people detained on Mother Tongue Day to take place in Homel on Monday
Seven participants of the action conducted by activists of the democratic youth movement on Mother Tongue Day in Homel will take place on February 23.
Members of the steering committee on creation of the “Belarusian Christian Democracy” party and other civil activists tried to organize a flashmob. Participants went to the city’s main street with posters where the inscription “Belarusian Language” was crossed.
They were going to draw people’s attention to problems of our mother tongue. Young people were going to proceed as far as the monument of Kiryla Turauski and to place flowers on it.
Seven participants of the action and two independent journalists were detained by people in plain clothes and delivered to Homel Central District Department of the Interior. All of them were let off after an interrogation. Protocols were drawn up.
The activists are accused of an unauthorized manifestation and their protocols were drawn up on the basis of violation of the terms of organization of mass actions.
