Uladzimir Katsora, member of the coordination council of the democratic forces in the Homel region, and Leanid Sudalenka, head of the city department of “Legal Iniitative”, can take their computers, seized by the KGB during a search.

It is said in notices of the region prosecutor’s office, sent to the activists, BelaPAN reports.

As Uladzimir Katsora said, six computers had been seized by the secret services in October 2007. The KGB explained the office of the United Civil Party had been searched in the criminal case against the “Young Front”. Computers were attached to the case as material evidence. On January 27, the prosecutor’s office informed the confiscated computers were excluded from the list of material evidence.

“It wasn’t the will of the KGB to make this, they have done in view of the current political situation – dialog with the West, concessions, the declared liberalization,” U. Katsora thinks.

Earlier, the KGB returned a risograph, seized in 2007during the search, to the regional UCP leader.
