The police continue to detain activists in Minsk.

Police officers were trying yesterday to enter the flat of the administrator of the opposition community on VKontakte social network “Tired of this Lukashenka”. They finally did it in the evening. The door was broken down, but the activist escaped through the window, his friend Raman Pratasevich writes.

“The police broke down the door at around 22:00. Siarhei jumped out of the window and ran away. His parents and girlfriend were taken to the Frunzenski police department and questioned. Siarhei is in a safe place now. Nobody will find him there,” he writes.

Another opposition activist, Andrei Tkachou, was tried yesterday. The police also visited activist Aliaksandr Stsepanenka. He wrote on Facebook the police officers warned him against participating in protests.

The police detained about 20 opposition activists in the last two weeks. Human rights defenders explain it by the Ice Hockey World Championship.
