- Former presidential candidate Mikola Statkevich and his wife Marina Adamovich were detained (Marina was freed).  Both of them were under pressure for a long time: Marina: "During a week our house was beset from all sides. Blue minivans were on day-and-night duty. --- Now they (the police) drive Mercedes instead previous Volkswagen cars."
