Pensioners’ defender fined for Br2 million in Pinsk

The man born in 1957 was fined for intervention in administrative violation cases on July 9.

The pensioners caught near the market Western are still waiting for their trial. They are accused of trade rules violation and disobedience to officials.

The Department of the Interior of Brest City Executive Committee is going to check whether the actions of the policemen who detained the pensioners were grounded, Euroradio was told.

A video displaying police rudely detaining pensioners who were trading near the market Western in Pinsk appeared on the Internet earlier. Policemen tried to snatch a bag from an old man’s hands.  Then they pushed two elderly women into the police car. The women were crying, one lost her headscarf and a policeman stepped on it.
