Barys Hamaida sentenced to two days of detention

A local activist Barys Hamaida was detained in Vitsebsk this morning. He organized an action dated for the anniversary of Chernobyl Disaster in the centre of the city.
He went into the street with a bell of mourning at about 11 a.m. The “death-bell in remembrance of victims of Chernobyl” sounded for 2 or 3 minutes.

Then the policemen made Hamaida gather his belongings and get in a minibus without number plates. A trial took place soon afterwards. Barys Hamaida has been sentenced to two days of detention.
