A politician Andrei Klіmau was arrested in Minsk on the morning of March 3. Policemen took him to Minsk City Office of Public Prosecutor.
Klimau is accused of appeals to overthrow the existing state regime – a crime mentioned in art. 361 of the Criminal Code of Belarus.

Not long ago it turned out that the Office of Public Prosecutor started a criminal case against Klimau for slandering Aliaksandr Lukashenka. The slander is said to have been found in some articles posted on the Internet.

The decision about his removal for 2 months has already been announced to the politician. But he thinks it will continue till the trial.
