Public activist Veranika Lazouskaya was seized a laptop on the Belarusian-Lithuanian border.

Veranika Lazouskaya told Radio Svaboda border guards were searching her bags and explained they were looking for things with forbidden information. They took the girl’s laptop for that.

They were looking for words “president”, “patriotism”, and “white-red-white flag” in the documents.

Veranika told the border guards had phoned their commanders several times, then said good-bye and went away. But when the train was to depart, they returned and said the girls should get off.

The girl was explained by customs officers her laptop should be seized to check for forbidden information in accordance with item 2 of article 207 of the Customs Code.
