At present Tania and Volodia are in the Okrestino temporary detention facility. According to some reports, they will be kept there for at least 3 days.
But the repressions against activists go beyond Minsk: in Saligorsk and Homiel the public activists are also taken to interrogations. So far there is no exact information concerning the number of the interrogated people and their further fate.
The detention of the ecologist Vladimir Volodin and Tatiana Seninischeva who was involved in humanitarian and charitable activities reveals a panic tensity in the work of the investigation. They grab whoever and accuse of whatever. Another evidence of this are the arrests on September, 8 (on the same standart suspicions) of Igor Chapyga from the Right Alliance and Sergey Popov from the Liberty Party — the participants of the ultraright organizations whose opinions and priniciples are precisely the opposite of anarchist ones.
The accusations against seven activists detained on September, 3 on suspicion of the attack on the Embassy are still not lodged, and according to some information the investigatory powers have switched over to drawing up statements concerning their complicity in other vague episodes.
