More than 400 criminal cases have been initiated in Belarus since August 9 on committing crimes related to violation of public order. This was stated by Prosecutor General Andrei Shved. Many of these cases are already at the stage of completion of the preliminary investigation. The perpetrators will be brought to justice. As for other statements of citizens, Belarus is a state governed by the rule of law, and there is not a single example of unlawful actions being not registered and considered in the prescribed manner. The Prosecutor General noted that there are procedural terms, legal decisions will be made on each statement. He also stressed the need for impartial and fair enforcement of the law by all. According to Andrei Shved, the current situation in the country is controlled: ordinary crime is declining, but at the same time, prosecutors note some tendencies that require the intervention of the supervisory authority. The radicalization of protest sentiments is noted.
