It was soon reported that Ivan Kubrakov would take his place.
On October 29, Lukashenko decided to restructure his power structures.
Belarusian Interior Minister Yuriy Karayev was fired, according to the Pul pervogo Telegram channel. He was appointed Minister on June 11, 2019.
Why he was fired has yet to be announced. Mr. Lukashenko has also appointed Valery Vakulchik, secretary of the country’s Security Council, as his assistant in the Brest region. It has not been announced whether he will continue to serve as secretary.
“Changes in the force structure block that nobody expected! And three new assistants! “Says Telegram.
Karaev said Wednesday there was a “war” in the country and law enforcement officials must be prepared to use lethal weapons against protesters.
Following the controversial presidential elections on August 9, won by authoritarian leader Lukashenko, several people were killed, thousands more were arrested and horrible stories of violence among detainees appear in the crackdown. The regime also threatened to start using combat ammunition against protesters.
Karaev gave a version of his events on Wednesday.
“The militiaman was near death, and only then did he fire warning shots into the air. Why is that? They have told me that our militiamen have not been willing to kill a neighbor in their village, a compatriot, a resident of their district, “said J. Karaev.
According to the minister, during the 26 years of President Lukashenko’s rule, Belarusian law enforcement officers were willing to “act only humanely”, but “a cruel joke was broken”.
“Now the situation has changed, there is a war … Influenced openly and boldly, the lack of impunity and fear are fostered. And we still doubt, “said J. Karajev.
