“The Belarusian citizen was stopped by a 20-25-year-old man who asked for a light in Zoliborz District. When the woman stopped he hit her with a knife. His e-fit has already been created.

Let us remind you that on the day of the attack (November 7) the trial concerning to the appeal of the Belarusian Ministry of Justice asking to return Klaskouskaya’s 6-year-old daughter Miraslava to Belarus took place in the district court "Warszawa- Zoliborz". Miraslava is also protected by the Geneva Convention.

The child’s father, Vital Navumovich, who lives in Belarus has initiated the process of annulment of Volha Klaskouskaya. At the moment the woman is deprived of the right of guardianship.

We have not managed to contact Volha Klaskouskaya. She claimed that Belarusian security agencies were behind Vital Navumovich’s desire to take away the daughter from her.

Vіtal Navumovіch was present at the trial in Warsaw and has returned to Belarus. He claimed that he did not believe in the attack against his former wife. In his turn, he accused Volha Klaskouskaya of using the daughter for political purposes.
