Case of Pavel Krasousky

Pavel Krasovsky, a Young Front activist, was detained on October 5, 2006 as a suspect in preparation of a number of explosions that took place in Vitsebsk in September 2005. On October 11 Aleksandr Rasolka,  the senior investigator of especially important cases of the Republican Prosecutor’s Office, ruled to additionally suspect of Pavel Krasovsky in having committed a number of rapes and murders of under-aged girls in different parts of Belarus in 1999. During the latest interrogation Pavel Sapelka, the lawyer of Pavel Krasovsky, was subject to unprecedented pressurization.

The League together with Viasna Human Rights Center believe that the criminal persecution of Pavel Krasovsky is politically motivated and connected to his public and political activity;

We consider the direct pressurization of the lawyer Pavel Sapelka by the investigation inadmissible and revolting;

We demand the immediate cessation of the criminal persecution and release of Pavel Krasovsky.
