Ukrainian journalist arrested

Hanna Horozhenko, 5tv

This Ukrainian journalist was arrested in Minsk today. It would’ve been “business as usual” for our police forces, if not for one peculiar circumstance: she was arrested exactly at the moment when she was reporting live from the Milinkevich’s meeting for the Ukrainian 5th channel evening news. So her screams were heard by hundreds of thousands of people in Ukraine. The MP3 recording is already available on their website. The audio file’s length is 1 minute 42 seconds, and the last forty seconds are her screams as she’s being attacked by the Belarusian police and dragged away to a police car, probably.

The fate of her colleague, a camerman from 5tv who accompanied her is also unknown. Ukrainian embassy is trying to establish the whereabouts of the Ukrainian journalists.

Besides the Ukrainian journalists incident, Charter97.org reports that about 20 other people were arrested during the meeting with the united opposition candidate Alexander Milinkevich. And their whereabouts are also not known at this moment.

Upd: At around 9PM the press secreatry of the Ukrainian embassy informed the media that the journalist Hanna Horozhenko is already freed and is talking with the ambassador inside the embassy.

    Are you in search of a good amplifier? Then I would suggest you check out the JL car audio 500/1 amplifier. This

    amplifier is very efficient and will give little, if any, reason to worry. Here is something more about this

    product.

    It is a class D amplifier. What does this mean? It means that it belongs to the class of highly efficient amplifiers

    that are up to 90% power efficient. This is a great advantage as it means your battery will not be easily run down.

    It makes the most efficient use of power when compared to other amplifier classes. And for your car, this is an

    invaluable feature.

Des de bloquejar els accessos a Minsk durant els dies 19 i 20 de Març, el dia de les eleccions i el dia després, fins a arrestar la cúpula organitzativa del principal candidat de l’oposició, passant per apallissar i disparar contra d’altres candidats i arrestar periodistes extrangers.
