Belarus Riot Police Break up Peaceful Rally for Missing Journalist
MosNews
Riot police have dispersed a peaceful rally held in the Belarus capital Minsk in memory of Russian journalist Dmitriy Zavadskiy who went missing in Belarus five years ago.
Russia's First Channel television reported that special purpose OMON police troops had been used to break up the rally, which had not been sanctioned but was peaceful in nature. One of the policemen hit Zavadskiy's wife Svetlana in the face. The woman was admitted to hospital with head injuries on Thursday evening.
Dmitry Zavadsky, a citizen of Belarus who worked as a cameraman for Russia's Channel One television, went missing in Belarus in July 2000. In 2002 Belarus authorities charged two police officers with Zavadsky's kidnapping and sentenced them to life in prison.
