T.Yelavaya: Instigators from Square could be hired by special services

Civil activist Tatstsyana Yelavaya (blogger zmagarka) actually coordinating the investigation of the provocation of December 19 on the Internet has informed about several versions of the events in the square in an interview with “Nasha Niva”. Tatstsyana thinks that the evens near the House of the Government were a provocation and has managed to count that there were 9 instigators but it is necessary to make the number more precise. The instigators were not “quiet” – policemen or KGB members in plain clothes. Usually, such people can be found among demonstrators and they help detain the most active participants. In the civil activist’s opinion, the Belarusian special services could hire instigators on December 19 because their conduct was very different from the usual actions of the security agencies.

Tatstsyana Yelavaya used photo and video materials from the square as well as audio records of the conversations conducted with the help of portable radio transmitters secretly sent to her by the security agencies. She is hoping that the materials of the investigation can be sent to Brussels were the hearing concerning Belarus will take place on January 12.
