Diplomats promised to allow Russians detained in Belarus

“We were told that it will be guaranteed by the end of the day today,” RIA Novosti quoted him as saying.

Mezentsev noted that the delay was related to the correspondence between the IC, the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Belarus.

Earlier it was reported that the head of the Belarusian Investigative Committee signed a permit for the Russian consul to visit the detainees.

On July 29, the BELTA news agency reported that 33 Russians had been detained in Belarus. Later it became known that the detainees were suspected of preparing riots.
