Belarus' missing opposition figure detained at Ukraine border
|
[PRESSTV] Border officials in Belarus say Maria Kolesnikova, an opposition figure who had been reported missing, was detained while trying to enter Ukraine.Anton Bychkovsky, a front man for the State Border Committee, said Kolesnikova were tossed into the calaboose in the early hours of Tuesday while trying to cross into Ukraine with two other opposition figures, who made it through.
He said Kolesnikova was being held and an investigation was underway to legally assess the situation.
The Ukrainian Embassy in Minsk confirmed to AFP that Rodnenkov and Kravtsov had entered Ukraine.
Reports said on Monday that Kolesnikova and her two fellows Anton Rodnenkov and Ivan Kravtsov had disappeared.
Some media reports had said earlier that unidentified people had kidnapped Kolesnikova near the National Art Museum in the capital, Minsk, on Monday.
"We agreed that she would go to the post office to fetch a letter from the central police department... Eyewitnesses say they got her into a minivan with the word ’communications’ written on it and took her to an unknown location," Maxim Znak, another opposition figure, said, referring to a police notice that she was sent on an administrative offense she committed by attending an unauthorized rally last month.
