BELARUSIAN POLICE BEAT, DETAIN PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE.



Security forces on March 2 beat and detained presidential candidate Alyaksandr Kazulin, who is challenging incumbent President Alyaksandr Lukashenka in the March 19 presidential election, Belapan and Reuters reported. Kazulin, former rector of Belarusian State University, was trying to register for the two-day All-Belarusian People's Assembly, which opened in Minsk on March 2, when plainclothes officers knocked him to the ground, took him out of a hall, and drove him away. Officers also scuffled with journalists, injuring a Reuters television correspondent. Nina Shydlouskaya, a spokeswoman for Kazulin, told Reuters that he is being held at a police station in Minsk. "He has been beaten up quite badly. We don't know what his status is at the moment," Shydlouskaya added.
