Having served 5 days of administrative arrest, Alyaksei Marachkin sent an appeal to the internal affairs department of Tsentralny district of Minsk on returning the seized works of art to him.

The artist and public activist, chairman of the World Association of the Belarusians Batskaushchyna, said in the interview to BelaPAN, the case is in returning of his property – work Dolls, gonfalons of the Frantishak Skaryna Belarusian Language Association, and different banners. The artist said one of the grounds for appealing to militia was the fact he hadn’t received a copy of the report with a list of all works, seized during the search of his workshop.

A. Marachkin got administrative arrest from 24 to 29 March. He was accused of using foul language and resistance to representatives of force agencies.
