UCP activist from Vaukavysk Vital Hulyak was unable to receive his disability pension, because his bank card had been seized by the militia.
"Militiamen took away my card, so I cannot get pension now. I have nothing to live on, but the militia don't say when I get back the card and my belongings seized after the search. I am ready for decisive measures – if I don't receive back at least the card, I'll go to Minsk to investigator's office and announce a hunger strike in protest. What else can I do?" the oppositionist told in an interview to Radio Svaboda.
Vital Hulyak is a member of the United Civil Party. On May 18, militiamen came to search his apartment in connection with the criminal case against activists of the civil campaign Tell the Truth! Hulyak said he didn't belong to the campaign and had no relation to its activity, but militamen seized his computer, information storage devices, documents and a bank card he used to receive his pension.
Activists of Tell the Truth! Campaign were searched all over Belarus on May 18. The militia seized computers from dozens of oppositionists. The equipment hasn't been returned so far.
