Siarhei Ivanavich Salavei
Soligorsk District Department of Internal Affairs. Deputy Chief. Chief of the Public Security Police. Police Lieutenant Colonel
A co-conspirator in crimes against the rights and freedoms of Belarusian citizens. Sergei Ivanovich Solovey is an employee of law enforcement agencies involved in politically motivated repression.
Specifically, Solovey led the arrests of peaceful protesters during the election campaign and protests of August 9-11, 2020.
During the arrest of strike committee members and city activists on February 28, he distinguished himself by personally hitting one of the detainees in the head. The others were beaten in front of the bus, on the bus, and then riot police sprayed pepper spray inside the vehicle carrying the detainees. People were also subjected to physical violence at the district police department, and unknown individuals came to their homes to search them without warrants or prosecutor's orders.
He acted as a victim in the case against Roman Smolkin, stating that he felt insulted by a comment on the social network VKontakte. According to the prosecution, his honor and dignity were harmed. His wife was also outraged by the comment. Ultimately, Roman was fined 5,100 rubles and ordered to pay 2,000 rubles in moral damages. Furthermore, his mobile phone was confiscated as a "means of committing a crime."
Therefore, Sergei Solovyov's actions violate human rights and contribute to the strengthening of the repressive regime in the Republic of Belarus.
