“Just spoke with a representative of our Embassy in Belarus Valery, Djigunovic. He confirmed that Sergei Zhadan was detained in Minsk that he spent the night in the Leninsky district police Department in Minsk. The Embassy only found out about it because, unfortunately, the family had not appealed to him before, and Belarus did not provide information on detention of the citizen of Ukraine, which, of course, is a violation,” wrote Gerashchenko.
