Three deputies of group “Respublika” Valery Fralou, Uladzimir Parfyanovich and Syarhei Skrabets, who announced an indefinite hunger strike yesterday, have spent a night in the parliament in their offices. The officers of presidential security service, who are guarding the building of the parliament since the hunger strike had begun, did not interfere with the intention of the deputies to stay in the parliament.
As General Valery Fralou told to the press center of the Charter’97, the night passed quietly, and now deputies started to perform their duties. At 6 a.m. Syarhei Skrabets came to Lida for the meeting with his voters. Uladzimir Parfyanovich and Valery Fralou are in their offices. They do not exclude that they would continue hunger strike in their offices in the weekend.
The deputies protest against political repressions in the country and come out for the transparency of the process of setting up election committees, broader powers of observers and cancellation of the early voting procedure. They are also calling for the release of former minister, the 12th and 13th Supreme Soviet MP, Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary Ambassador of Belarus Mikhail Marynich from the KGB pre-trial detention center. The day before parliamentarians made a statement, telling that Lukashenka’s term prolongation is intolerable, and calling his regime a criminal one
