Illya Bahdanau was detained in Polatsk later, coordinator of the steering committee of the BCD Party Tatstsyana Sevyarynets told Euroradio. Bahndanau has already been released (reportedly, he was taken to KGB prison and his flat was searched).

Tatstsyana Sevyarynets says:

"Haidukou is in Minsk KGB now. He is accused of a terrible thing - "state treason" (!).  It seems to be connected with the Eastern Partnership... But it is only a rumour now."

KGB has promised to comment on the news after 3 p.m.
