“She was detained by people who presented themselves as employees of the Ministry of the Interior around 11 o’clock, when she left the Lithuanian embassy, where she presented the necessary documents for a visa,” S. Tikhanovskaya’s team announced.
It is announced that the reasons for the arrest are not yet known, but the Lukashenko regime has been actively trying to stem Tikhanyovskaya’s wave of popularity in recent days.
“We don’t know where Mary is. Hopefully, they took her out for questioning, but we can’t imagine what they are asking. In any case, it’s nonsense: there are three days until the elections,” said Tikhanovskaya spokeswoman Anna Krasulina.
Where Moroz was taken and where she is being held has been unknown for some time, but after the Interior Ministry reported that she was not involved in her arrest, she was released.
Moroz herself told RIA Novosti that organized crime officials had invited her to speak, who soon released her.
She also said that the authorities had invited her for an “explanatory interview.” Moroz said he had been warned about the responsibility of organizing “unauthorized events.”
“My information is that he was detained for a short time and released, and I cannot give more details,” Lithuanian Foreign Minister Linas Linkevičius also told BNS.
According to him, M. Moroz visited the Lithuanian Embassy to obtain a visa.
“I can confirm that I visited for the visa,” said the minister.
He added, together with his Polish counterpart Jacek Czaputowicz, to monitor the actions in Belarus and coordinate coordinated positions.
According to Linkevičius, there are no plans to review bilateral relations with Belarus due to actions against opposition candidates and protesters.
“It just came to our knowledge then. We need to see how things turn out. Our relationships have always been based on pragmatic principles: we are not comrades, we are not allies, but we are neighbors,” said L. Linkevičius.
Tichanovskaya is Lukashenko’s main rival in these elections.
She is the wife of popular blogger Sergei Tichanovsky, who was not allowed to run, and is supported by other unregistered candidates: Viktoras Babaryka and Valery Cepkala.
