Release from prison "Vitsba-3" political prisoner Andrei Gaidukova this special operation was organized to prevent his meeting at the prison gate. Andrew Gadukovu ordered to start collecting things at 6 am, but usually released from prison in 11. At 7:00, he was put into a police car, taken to the station in Vitebsk, given 20 thousand rubles, so that he could reach relatives. Thus, the prison gates to meet him failed.
After his release Gaidukov Andrew said: "Mentally I feel great physically and need to rest and recuperate. But in general, better than there. So the mood is normal, plans enough and something to do."
The former political prisoner said that he was just 10 steps: "When I was arrested, immediately sent for a month in the KGB, then taken to jail Vitebsk - also nearly a month, then back to the KGB - for five months, and again back to Vitebsk - for three months. After IR -19 - for seven months, and then, at the end of the period - a month in "Vitsba-3", and I felt that compared all the "charms" of the system."
"The worst thing to sit still, of course, in the KGB jail. It is very cold. In winter there is was impossible. Everyone slept in jackets, but still woke up from the cold. In "Vitsba-3" I threw for 10 days in solitary confinement. I was brought, and four days later - just in solitary confinement. While I was sitting there, all my documents illegally checked. That is, I talked to people who passed through my complaints, for example, the prosecutor's office. All they checked it and took something," - stated Andrew Gaidukov.
Activist sure as it can put the power of each person. "At first, me and my parents have repeatedly warned because we were preparing registration "Union of young intellectuals". I was completely ready package for the Ministry of Justice, needed only a founding conference, but three days before her arrest me. Prior to this we were looking for funding for their activities addressed to various funds, including fund of the U.S. Embassy in Lithuania. But there was no answer. Then came the answer supposedly fund the U.S. Embassy, who actually wrote the Vitebsk counterintelligence officer," - he said.
While Andrew Gaidukov noted that he was not accused of spying: "I was arrested on the same article, in which I tried, and which provides for up to two years imprisonment. It was three days after the arrest, and I had to let go on bail. But since I did not give relevant evidence, no one handed and did what they wanted, they reclassified the charges to "attempted treason, threatening national security, the overthrow of the existing constitutional system, the transfer of information and analytical reports. "On this charge seven months there was a consequence. But in court, all began to fall apart. Plus gave publicity publish my letter. That is arrested me under for the "crime, not representing big public danger", three days later reclassified it into a "particularly serious" - from 7 to 15 years, and at the trial all easily reattached. The priest Lazarus was something like that."
