Police raid Minsk office of “Tell the Truth!” movement About 30 activists of the “Tell the Truth!” movement were rounded up in a police raid on the movement’s Minsk office on the Saturday morning. All of them were released without charges after they spent more than three hours at a police station. As Andrey Dzmitryyew, deputy chairman of the “Tell the Truth!” movement, told BelaPAN, the police raid disrupted a training seminar that was conducted for provincial activists in connection with the People’s Referendum campaign and local elections to be held in Belarus in early 2014. All those present were ordered into a prisoner van and taken to the Kastrychnitski district police station. “People were questioned and asked what they knew and what they had done and that is why the police had to listen to 30 stories about the people’s referendum and questions that could be proposed for it” Mr. Dzmitryyew said. “We spent more than three hours there. Naturally, the police did not care about the legality of their actions, but our people were eventually released.”
