3 activists of the civil campaign “European Belarus”, Alyaksandra Katok, Alyaksandr Kireeu and Marta Pyatrouskaya, were detained in Hrodna on June 28.
The young people were collecting signatures in support of Belarus’ joining the EU in one of the central streets of the city, not far from the city park of Emanuil Zhyliber, where a rock-festival “Boomerang” is held, BelaPAN informs.
Policemen detained activists at about 3.40 p.m. Soon after detention M. Pyatrouskaya was released, and others were taken to the police department of Leninski district of Hrodna. In a few hours they were released without a report being drawn up. The collected signatures were seized by policemen.

Belarusian activists who had been expelled from Belarusian universities on political reasons and who are studying in foreign universities now, are stopped on the border and told that they are prohibited to leave Belarus.
Names of the students are put on the so-called “black lists”. In this way military enlistment offices are trying to send unwanted oppositionists to the army service.
