Activists summoned for conversations about metro blast

Social activist Ihar Bahatchyk has been summoned to the police department for a conversation by phone in the morning on April 12 in Minsk. The topic of the conversation - yesterday's blast at "Kastrychnitskaya" metro station.

Ihar Bahatchyk used to be named in the "anarchists' case", but the accusations against him were withdrawn. He was invited to the police right after the blast. Ihar refused to go there without a subpoena, and the policemen promised to deliver it to him. 

It became known that the law enforcement authorities' representatives are trying to break into the apartment of an ecologist Uladzimir Valodzin. They are threatening they will break the doors. Valodzin is not at home, only his grandmother is there.

According to the information provided by human rights defenders, interrogations of activists started also in Brest.    

Human rights defenders urge the law enforcement authorities which investigate the tragedy not to create an atmosphere of fear and suspicion in the society and try to find the real criminals as soon as possible, the human rights center "Viasna" informs.
