The State Security Committee (KGB) has informed Young Front member Raman Vasilyeu that he is no longer a suspect in the mass riot case (Article 293 (3) of the Penal Code), according to the young man's post on Facebook.

 

The charges were also lifted from Young Front members Zmitser Dashkevich and Syarhei Palcheuski not long ago. The same had happened to the head of Babruisk club “Patriot” Mikalai Mihalkou and his son Yan.

 

14 more people remain behind bars on suspicion of being involved in ‘preparations for mass riots.’
