Two Belarus Antifa Prisoners

Urgent ELP! Bulletin (25th September 2007)

Dear friends

ELP has just learnt about the arrest and imprisonment of two antifa
activists in Belarus following a clash between the activists and a
group of neo-nazis in December 2006.  One of the activists is Maksim
Gubski, a local Minsk organiser of Food Not Bombs.

Below is an e-mail about Maksim and his co-defendant, Vladislav.

Support imprisoned Belarussian anti-fascists!

Maksim and Vladislav are anti-fascists from Minsk, who are doing 3
years sentences in Belarussian camps for their activities. They
support football club MTZ-RIPO, which is famous for its
uncompromisingly anti-fascist fans.

Maksim turned 18 years old in late July. He has been in anti-fascist
movement for 3 years, and was one of the organisers of Food Not Bombs
in Minsk, which made actions in Gorki park, Victory square and other
places in the city.

In December of 2006 they had an encounter with nazis, who ended up
being defeated. One of the nazis figured out that Maksim was
participating to event, and he went for the cops. Eventually Maksim
and Vladislav were sentenced to 3 years for "aggravated hooliganism",
that is statue 339 part 2 of the Belarussian criminal codex.
