“You’ll Be Jailed Until Putin Leaves!”

Young Front activists are imprisoned to please Vladimir Putin.

Remand centre in Minsk is full as the Young Front — Belarusian youth opposition organization — activists are being conveyor-like sentenced to days in a prison.

After their last sentence the activists didn’t even manage to leave the prison’s walls: they have been tried again at once.

Everything looks fine in the reports: a young person is released from the detention centre, goes (unnoticed by friends and relatives who wait at the gates) somewhere and becomes arrested again for using obscene language [what is considered to be petty hooliganism and punished with up to 15 days in jail — NN].

The police officers repeat “released at fixed time.” However, some of them cannot do this eye-to-eye.

All Young Front activists are accused of same crime: using obscene language. A casual situation for opposition activists in Belarus. All of them are sentenced to 10 days.

As one of the activists’ lawyer reported, a KGB officer said, “You’ll be jailed until Putin leaves!” [Vladimir Putin is to pay his first official visit to Belarus on May 31–June 1. — NN]

Young Front web page calls them “hostages in the centre of Europe.”

Raman Visiljeu sentenced to 12 days on May 15; to 12 days on May 26.
