FORMER BELARUSIAN OPPOSITION LAWMAKER ATTACKED



Three unidentified men attacked independent workers' movement activist and former Belarusian Supreme Soviet Deputy (1990-95) Syarhey Antonchyk as he was getting into his car in Minsk on 7 July, RFE/RL's Belarusian Service reported. Antonchyk managed to flee the attackers and reported the incident to police. Antonchyk told RFE/RL that he believes the attack was politically motivated. "I am in a large group...that, in accordance with the constitution, is preparing for the [parliamentary] elections," he said. "We are creating a network of people in every city in order to establish real monitoring of the elections, support our candidates, and field our candidate in the presidential elections. I think the attack was connected with this." In 1994, Antonchyk presented a report in the Supreme Soviet on corruption in President Alyaksandr Lukashenka's entourage and was subsequently convicted of slander and had some of his property confiscated.
