Raman Bandarenka<\/b> was at the \u201cSquare of Changes\u201d in Minsk on November 11, 2020, when a group of unidentified individuals began cutting down ribbons there. He was beaten by unknown assailants, forced into a van, and taken to the Central District Police Department, then later to a hospital with severe head injuries. Bandarenka died in the hospital on November 12. On February 18, more than three months after his death, the Prosecutor General\u2019s Office announced that a criminal case had been opened<\/a> under Part 3 of Article 147 of the Criminal Code (\u201cIntentional infliction of grievous bodily harm resulting in death by negligence\u201d). The investigation into Bandarenka\u2019s death<\/a> was later suspended.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
