The police officers called the Chernobyl liquidator "drunk" and tried to take him to the police department.

The Kalinkavichy police called the person with the second degree of disability "drunk" when he felt bad, and tried to take him to the police department. In the department, the police bosses did not even consider it necessary to apologize for the actions of their employees, Radio Liberty informs.

Chernobyl liquidator, the person with the second degree of disability Vasil Siliverst was detained late in the evening of April 19 at the Kalinkavichy railway station. He arrived to the station on a diesel train from Yelsk, where he was visiting his mother. He took potatoes in a plastic bag with him. When he was coming out of the carriage, the package broke and the potatoes rolled along the platform.

"What could I do - I bent down, started collecting the potatoes. Some passengers helped, - said Siliverst. - And then the policemen flew at me: "Yeah, drunk!". They grabbed me and took me to the police station. "

Vasil added that he already felt bad. "My blood pressure had risen because of bending down, and then there came the policemen. As a result, I had to call an ambulance to beat down the pressure and tachycardia.

The ambulance helped me out. Otherwise I would have to prove I wasn't drunk in that linear department," - says the disabled person.

Mr.Siliverst is indignant that Kalinkavichy policemen were primarily tuned "not so much for help, but for detaining, imprisoning, fining. Also, I feel sorry about the potatoes, they were a gift from my mother, I didn't manage to pick them all at the platform.

As it turned out, Siliverst was detained by First Sergeant Siarhei Lvov and Junior Sergeant Kiryl Staravoit.

Radio Liberty asked for a comment on the incident in the Kalinkavichy police department. The journalists could not get through to the chiefs, and Mikalai Prokharau, the assistant to the officer on duty, senior warrant, said that he did not know anything about this case.

"It's too early to apologize to this person. If he believes that police officers violated his rights, he can file a complaint with the supervisory authorities - the Investigatory Committee or the prosecutor's office. Based on the results of the audit, he will be given an appropriate response and, if necessary, an apology. "
