Bomb blast in Minsk center, occurred early in the morning of 4 July during a concert dedicated to the official Independence Day, shocked the Belarusian society and made everyone seek for a question to the main question: “Who could do it?” Zmitser Bandarenka, coordinator of Charter’97, one of the leaders of the “European Belarus”, believes these were “the same scoundrels who kidnapped and killed opposition leaders”.

In Zmitser Bandarenka’s view, “this explosion could be organised only by villains, who had already committed impudent and cruel murders, those fro whom human life means nothing.”

“That is why I think the organisers and executors of a terroristic act in Minsk are the same scoundrels who kidnapped and killed Yury Zakharanka, Anatol Krasouski and Viktar Hanchar. These murders are unsolved now. Strong belief in their impunity puts these villains up to new bloody crimes,” the human rights activist told in an interview to the Charter’97 press center.

“Kidnapping and murders of the opposition leaders were politically motivated. As many mass media say, among them state-run ones, the bomb explosion in Minsk on 4 July pursued political aims, too,” Zmitser Bandarenka explains.

“We will know the truth about organisers and executors of these crimes only if independent international experts investigate it,” Zmitser Bandarenka said.
