Henik Loika to stand trial for Belarusian language support action
The sculptor has held the action near Minsk grammar school #4 this morning.
Loika unrolled a poster on its threshold: "Happy Mother Language Day. Grammar school #4 was the last Belarusian language school".
Policemen were watching his actions. The education is being Russianized, Henik Loka told journalists. He noted that that statute of the Belarusian language grammar school had been changed last year - they allowed teaching in Russian. Loika finished his picket and went away a bit later. Then the sculptor managed to inform about his detention on the phone, Radio Liberty reports.
His whereabouts were unknown for several hours. Frunze District Department of the Interior did not confirm Loika's detention to his wife. She found it out by chance. The trial will start right before or after lunchtime.
