That way, the authorities disrupted his speech at Euronest in Kiev.

Mikalai Statkevich’s wife Maryna Adamovich reported that on Facebook.

"Mikalai Statkevich is in Akrestsina. Allegedly, on the "old" court decision of September 8, for 5 days. He will be released on November 4, at 20-30," – Maryna Adamovich wrote.

As Charter97.org reported earlier, Mikalai Statkevich was detained in Minsk yesterday. Today, on October 31, the politician was supposed to participate in the meeting of the working group on Belarus at Euronest.

Euronest is an interparliamentary assembly created to bring together the member states of the EU's Eastern Partnership program.

The goal of the program is the rapprochement of the EU with Ukraine, Armenia, Moldova, Georgia, Azerbaijan and Belarus without their acceptance into the EU.
