Wednesday, June 22, about 30 people came out to support the Belarusians in silent solidarity action near the Belarusian embassy in Moscow. The action began at 20:00 (together with Belarus, given the hour time difference) and lasted about an hour. Law enforcement officers didn't prevent the action; there're no arrests.
Young people gathered at the embassy and talked the Belarusian language. Two young men were standing on the steps of the embassy with photos of convicted defendants in «case on December 19,» reports «Belarusian Partisan.»
As Telegraf previously reported, police detained about 460 people all over Belarus on June 22 in the crackdown on the action of silent solidarity. More than 200 of them were detained in Minsk. Most of the detained were released after inspection of documents without a protocol drawn up.
Nevertheless, some participants were made answerable for an administrative offense under Art. 17.1 of the Administrative Code of Belarus — hooliganism. June 23, Minsk courts sentenced 23 protesters. All detainees were obliged to pay fines ranging from 2 to 30 basic units ($14 to $210).
