Entrepreneur Iryna Kaminskaya detained in Gomel. On the way to the court the woman felt bad.

Earlier Iryna Kaminskaya was detained in the village Uritskaya on 30 November. 280 copies of leaflets about the action of entrepreneurs on the International Human Rights Day on Kastrychnitskaya (October) Square in Minsk were confiscated. An act of seizure was drawn up.

Later, before the action of protest of entrepreneurs in Minsk, Gomel police watched her house, and on 11 December Irana Kaminskaya was detained in the street and guarded to Gomel district police department. She was questioned there and a report on “unlawful spreading of printed materials” (up to 10 days of arrest) was drawn up against her.

“I said the policemen: ‘You know, that you are accusing me of actions, I haven’t committed.’ It was a sorry sight. They became red, shrugged their shoulders, said: ‘We can do nothing: it was an order,’” Iryna told to the press service of the United Civil Party.

After a report was drawn up, I. Kaminskaya was guarded to the court, but she felt bad on the way. The trial was postponed till Monday, 17 December. Gomel entrepreneurs are to organise an action of support near the court.
