Artist Ales Pushkin jailed for 12 days
Judge of the Lenin district court of Minsk Maryna Zapasnik took such decision. Pushkin will serve punishment in the Center for isolation of law-breakers.
It is still unknown what
the artist was accused of. The judge's Secretary refuses to inform the reason
for detention, reports Radio Liberty.
The court's office for administrative cases states that Pushkin was detained
for holding a non-sanctioned street action.
Euroradio reminds, Ales Pushkin managed to inform by phone that he was
detained, on December 5. There has been no information about him since then.
The day before, the artist conducted a performance - he visited the Supreme
Court with a portrait of Rastsislau Lapitski - the hero of the anti-Soviet
resistance. Pushkin appealed against the decision of the Smarhon court which
sentenced him to 10 days of detention for the similar performance.
