Mass arrest of "Young Front" activists

Содержание

Yesterday in Minsk 27 people were detained during a meeting of the Young Front
(MF Молодого Фронт) - a nationalist-conservative unregistered organization.

MF - separated from 
"BNF":http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Belarusian_People%27s_Front  youth organization, formed 10 years ago partly of the young people, which composed the nucleus of the street protests of 1996-1997.

Street protests were the originally basic direction of organization, then - to
it is enlightenment - cultural activity. The members of the organization
participated in the tent camps in Kuropatakh and over the October area. After
2001 as a result of a number of events MF it ceased to be the wing of party BNF
and became an independent organization.

The first chairman MF of "P.Sevyarynets":http://www.apagay.com/press/release/2001/2001012e.php serves a sentence - "chemistry" in Vitebsk
region for the organization of protest action against the results of the
referendum of 2004. In 2006 the chairman of the organization Z'mitser 
Dashkevich was osuzhden on the article "management the unregistered
organization".

Until today MF, from one side, does not play the leading role in the political
field. From other side - existing "in the underground" the organization for
previous irritates authorities, and it is convenient target for the exponential
repressions against the youth activists.

The chronicle of arrests is cited on the site Of "nashay of field":http://nn.by/index.php?c=ar&amp;i=6334&amp;c2=araddcompa

Update: Most of those detained were released, with the exception of Oleg Korban
and Z'mitra Khvedaruka - by them, most likely, will be produced charge on the
same criminal article as Z'mitru.

Oleg Korban has been detained by the KGB
17:55, 05/02/2007

Oleg Korban’s relatives informed the Radio Svaboda that the young man had been
detained at the KGB prison. Location of the Malady Front [Young Front] member
Zmitser Fedaruk is unknown. His co-members do not exclude that he has also been
imprisoned at the same place. But they do not lose hope and keep on duty at the
Savetsky district court of Minsk.

Yesterday militiamen detained around 30 activists of the Malady Front [Young
Front] during the seating of the central council of the organization. Then
everybody but Zmitser Fedaruk was released. Oleg Korban was detained at his
apartment when he was celebrating his birthday.

The youth activists consider that the lawsuit may be brought against Korban and
Fedaruk for participation in the unregistered organization. It is to be
mentioned, that it is for that reason that Zmitser Dashkevitch was sentenced for
1,5 years imprisonment. Four activists of the “Partnyorstvo” company of election
watchers have already passed the term of imprisonment for the same reason.
