    Akt­siabrs­ki police refused to pro­vide any infor­ma­tion to BAJ about the detained blog­ger.

    It seems that the police detained the well-known blog­ger, along with his col­leagues and activists, ‘pre­ven­tive­ly’, to hin­der the spread of infor­ma­tion about the vot­ing results.

    This is not Andrei’s first deten­tion in the run up to impor­tant events in the coun­try. Also, he received numer­ous threats by email and was even accused of alleged call­ing in a fake bomb threat. The police failed to find those who orga­nized provo­ca­tions and per­son­al threats against Pavuk.
