“I urge law enforcement officers to immediately stop pressure on the members of the coordination council and release Olga Kovalkova and Sergei Dylevsky. Do not try to intimidate us and do not be afraid to go for an open dialogue with the people, to which the coordinating council calls on, "RIA Novosti quotes her statement.
Tikhanovskaya stressed that the Constitutional Court stands for the settlement of the "acute political crisis" in Belarus through dialogue.
“But instead of seeking dialogue, the outgoing president’s administration is engaged in petty accusations and persecutions. This testifies to the lack of state thinking among officials and judges, ”she said.
Earlier, the Zavodskoy district court of Minsk appointed ten days of administrative arrest for a member of the Presidium of the Constitutional Court of the opposition of Belarus Olga Kovalkova and the leader of the MTZ strike committee Sergei Dylevsky.
The Coordination Council of the Opposition of Belarus called the arrest of two of its members a form of pressure from the authorities.
