Even logo balloons were taken away from civil campaign’s office.
Police seized a large amount of promo material from the office of the “Tell the Truth!” movement in Minsk on September 6.
The officers raided the office, located in an apartment building, when many members of the opposition movement were staying there to watch a television address by a parliamentary candidate.
As Andrej Dzmitryjeu, deputy chairman of the movement, told, the policemen seized the entire printed material related to this month's parliamentary elections, as well as leaflets dating back to the 2010 presidential election. “They also seized balloons with the movement's logo and video surveillance equipment.”
Computers was not seized, Mr. Dzmitryjeu said.
The movement was expected on Friday to complain to a prosecutor's office about the raid and demand the printed material returned, according to the activist. “We believe there was not a single illegal item in the office and will immediately complain about the policemen's actions, as we learned from the policemen's chats that they were going to burn the entire material as soon as possible,” Mr. Dzmitryjeu concluded.
