KGB officers raid Minsk office of Malady Front

Officers of the Committee for State Security (KGB) searched the Minsk office of Malady Front, an opposition youth group, on July 21.

As Anastasiya Palazhanka, deputy chair of the group, told BelaPAN, the raid took place right after a meeting of Malady Front’s leadership that focused on the boycott of September’s parliamentary elections. “They took away printed materials, banners, flags as a result of the raid. I believe that the search is linked to the election boycott campaign which we are beginning today,” Palazhanka said.
