Nasta Dashkevich (ex-Palazhanka) taken off train on her way to Lithuania
Political prisoner Zmitser Dashkevich's wife headed for the EHU to take exams. The reason - she did not change her passport after marriage.
Nasta has informed to
Euroradio that she addressed to the passport office before departure for
explanations, as she changed her second name to "Dashkevich" and
needed to change the passport. The officials assured her that everything was
okay: if her old passport was not stamped with "invalid", she could
go abroad just showing the marriage stamp to the customs officers. Nasta didn't
want to get a new passport yet as she would have to obtain a new visa then and
it would take time.
According to Nasta Dashkevich, the customs officers said everything was okay at
first, but then their boss got an order via his walkie-talkie "Dashkevich
to go out". Nasta is at the border now, trying to get back home.
Nasta prepared for this trip to the European Humanities University to take exams for a long time. Euroradio reminds, Nasta married political prisoner Zmitser Dashkevich on December 26 in Hrodna prison.
