Investigators name four men suspected of battery against diplomats in London
April 14, BPN. The Belarusian Investigative Committee says it has opened a special procedure case against four men suspected of battery against diplomats outside the Belarusian Embassy in London in December 2021.
It is summoning Vadzim Bahaŭkoŭ, Maksim Zujeŭ, Alaksandr Naprejenka, and Siarhiej Rabuška, suspected of incitement to hatred, criminal damage, and violence against officials.
The Belarusian Embassy in London was damaged in December 2021, the foreign ministry reported. Unknown individuals damaged its facade and battered Belarusian diplomats who arrived at the scene. One of them was later diagnosed with a mild concussion, nasal fracture, and chipped tooth.
The foreign ministry summoned the UK’s charge d’affaires to protest against the incident and demand that it be thoroughly investigated.
The Belarusian government uses the special procedure to prosecute its exiled opponents.
