Young Front member Ryhor Astapenya to be released today

Let us remind you that Minsk Moscow District Court sentenced members of the Young Front organization registered in the Czech Republic Ryhor Astapenya and Ivan Shyla to administrative arrests. Shyla was imprisoned for 13 days and Astapenya – for 10 for participation in an unauthorized action.

Shyla and Astapenya were detained near the court building during an action of solidarity with Zmitser Dashkevich and Edward Lobau.

Young Front activists unrolled a transparency “Hands off the Young Front” and a dozen policemen and members of special police troops in plain clothes approached them, got them down, pushed them into a minibus and delivered to Minsk Moscow District Department of the Interior.
