Police: Street action on Sep 28 was a violation of public order

The police treat the opposition-staged street action on September 28 in Minsk as a gross violation of the public order, Interior Ministry spokesman Oleg Sipchenko said in a statement. He noted that the action was not authorized, with protesters carrying lit torches and hampering the traffic in Independence Avenue.

After the police analyze the video tapes from the action, information will be filed to the Office of the Prosecutor General for legal assessment.
