Ethnic Poles leader in Belarus is warned

Leader of the Union of Poles in Belarus Angelica Borys has been officially warned by prosecutors in the western city of Grodno to stop her activities otherwise she will be charged. She was instructed not to organize meetings outside the UPB seat in Grodno, which the Belarusian authorities regard as an instigation to domestic violence.

Borys said after the questioning that she did not intend to stop meeting other Poles. Earlier she handed out leaflets calling on Poles to boycott the forthcoming congress of ethnic Poles in Belarus.
