Volha Hajdukova, mother prisoner in the KGB detention center activist, told the words of the lawyer November 22, son interrogated. According Hajdukova, Andrew has not yet received a letter from home, and relatives did not reach the letters sent to them. From the first day of detention Andrew Hajdukou wrote three letters home, my mother said.

Volha Hajdukova: "This we know from the words of the lawyer. However, not one letter we received. He may have written something that did not allow censorship. We know that our message is not received - reached only a postcard from his sister. But what makes me happy - that's what a lawyer Andrew introduced the request about their learning, for him to transfer a controlling work. This pleased me. So, he has plans for the future, and he did not despair. Still worried his health. Lawyer says he looks good. The only thing in the KGB detention center is very cold, and I am afraid that he is not sick. "

"All the information I collected, but I have only copies. I gave the originals lawyer who wrote the application to change the measure of restraint Andrew to release on parole. Here again now require originals. As for changes in preventive measures, the current attorney - and this is the third lawyer to protect his son - says that hope is almost hopeless. But I am convinced that Andrew did not always do what he is accused of. "

According to the "European Belarus" Andrei Hajdukou actually was arrested for distribution of the newspaper "Charter'97". His mother also confirmed that his son spread some newspapers, but it was a long time ago. During the search, which the KGB had the activist home on November 8, no newspapers have found, and took only two computers and mobile phones.

"Civil campaign" European Belarus "established distribution of the newspaper" Charter'97 "in Belarus. It is such an integral project, in which various youth organizations and more. We do know that in the day when he was arrested Andrew Hajdukou, he received 2,000 copies of the newspaper "Charter'97" for distribution in the Vitebsk region. On the same day he was arrested. We know that the KGB was very interested in the case of the so-called espionage. During this KGB get pip and improving the service. For them it is a very interesting topic. "

Meanwhile, the KGB did not comment on the statement about the "real reasons" detention Hajdukou. "No comment at all", - the press-secretary of State Security Alexander Antonovich. According to official information, Hajdukou not suspected in the spread of illegal printed materials, and "treason" and was detained "in the laying down of a cache of interest to foreign intelligence information." Against Andrei Hajdukou opened a criminal case under Article 356 "Treason in the form of intelligence activities."

The leader of the unregistered association "Union of Young Intellectuals" Evgeny Konstantinov November 21 at a round table on business Hajdukova reported that detained on charges of treason KGB previously warned of possible trouble for his political activism. According to Konstantinov, with Hajdukou he met in the summer of 2011 during the "silent protest."

"Hajdukou is a highly developed and well-educated young man, he was interested in politics. He joined our organization and become my assistant. Thanks to him, our structure was adopted in the National Platform of the Civil Society Forum of the Eastern Partnership. He was in contact with many organizations both within Belarus and abroad ", - said Konstantinov. He noted that during the 2010 elections Hajdukou teamed presidential candidate Andrei Sannikov. "After December 19, 2010 we had been organizing solidarity with political prisoners", - Konstantinov said.

Troubles of the Hajdukova began after the union "Union of Young Intellectuals" started to prepare for the organization's registration. "We expected to register an international youth organization for culture and cultural exchange in Belarus, if it does not in this country - so beyond. On this occasion Hajdukou negotiated with Russian lawyers who prepared the documents - apparently in order to register the organization in Russia. We also planned to come into contact with the Polish and American youth organizations, but only planned - no action on this issue did not take ", - Konstantinov said.

"Once we began to prepare for registration, Hajdukou told me that came to his house the KGB and was given to understand that the registration of such an association is not desired, they proposed to abandon the idea, threatening trouble. Then I suggested Hajdukou roll registration activities, but Andrew did not agree to stop this process ", - Konstantinov said.

The fact that the KGB threatened Andrew Hajdukou trouble because of his public life, and his mother confirmed activist. Volha Hajdukova: "A few times it was not the time. Son then started to take care of us, our nerves with his father, and simply have not told anything. But I'm an adult, I understand where he intermeddle. Policy - this thing is ... Either in power or in the ... I, like every mother, it's not that I do not share his opinions, just worried. We have with his father to the work of his son, he has his own. Andrew wanted to protect from all of this. But it did not. Many times the son warned. Is not one. The last time I talked to him before the arrest, I do not know. He told us at one point just stopped talking. "

Volha says about Hajdukou's detention: "I think it is wholly a provocation, or a catch. If he had not been warned many times, they say, give up, go away. Come to the university and asked that his son had stopped in the examination. At the plant came to work for him. It many times warned. Of course I am not happy that he did not give up their belief. See for yourself how it ended. The only thing that soothes - it is his choice. He did not give up their belief. Son promised problem. The fact that they will be - we did not expect. "
