Today a short meeting of Tatsyana Stankevich, a lawyer, and her client Mikalai Statkevich, has taken place.

“Nasha Niva” has been informed about that by Statkevich’s common-law wife Maryna Adamovich.

“She says that Mikalai has grown thin, but he looks cheerful and energetic,” Maryna Adamovich said.

The presidential candidate Mikalai Statkevich has started to be acquainted with the materials of the case. We remind that Statkevich has refused to give evidence.

Lawyers have not seen the presidential candidate Mikalai Statkevich since December 29, when accusation was presented to the politician. The lawyers have not seen Pavel Sevyarynets, Anatol Lyabedzka, Syarhei Marstaleu, Zmitser Bandarenka for the same period of time.

Besides, official police sources inform that one more presidential candidate, Dzmitry Uss, has been charged with mass riots organizing.

Uss was detained on December 19 in the evening, but was released after he made a statement condemning the provocations on the square. Uss had not defamed any of the other candidates. All this time Dzmitry was a suspect in the criminal case. He told to mass media that the investigation wanted him to testify against Mikalai Statkevich. But Uss refused.

At the moment Dzmitry Uss is not available for comments. His mobile phone is switched off, and no one answers the office phone. It is known that he had been summoned to the KGB for Thursday.
