Veteran of the Afghan war Aliaksandr Sakharuk, awarded the medal "For Courage", threw his medals at the feet of the election commission.

- They did not allowed me to observe the elections, no matter how I asked them, they have their own puppet observers from among teachers, both former and current. I spent three days here on the doorsteps. I still have a moral right, I earned it. I turned to Nina Kalyada. She replied: leave the premises.

According to Aliaksandr Sakharuk, after this gesture, he was deprived of his accreditation and is now recording voters from the street, sitting on a stool he brought from home.
