"He revealed the" quiet "Lukashenko"

In Kyiv, a Belarusian activist was found hanged - a political refugee

Vitaliy Shishov, 26-year-old leader of the non-profit public organization "Belarusian House in Ukraine", disappeared on August 2. Well, how - gone? He left about nine in the morning from a rented apartment in the Svyatoshinsky district of Kyiv (this was fixed by a video camera at the entrance), went to a jogging park and did not return, although he promised to be by ten. In the "Belarusian House in Ukraine", such stories are immediately perceived as an emergency - alas, there is a sad experience.

Activists of the BDU told reporters: “Several so -called“ capercapes ”were made from his number - abruptly broken calls, now it is impossible to contact him. I did not get in touch anymore. We turned to the volunteers for help, combed an array where he usually made jogging, but we did not find any traces of Vitali. ”

A statement to the police was written by the girl Shishova, who lived with him. By the evening of August 2, there were no news.

Only the obvious was recorded: the Belarusian phone was disconnected from tracking the location, and the young man did not wear a clock or a fitness bracelet.

On the morning of August 3, the National Police said: Shishov was found hanged near the place where he disappeared in the park. According to preliminary information, traces of beatings, abrasions are visible on the body and face, the nose is broken. Law enforcement officers opened criminal proceedings under Article 115 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine (intentional murder). The police clarified that they would check all the versions, including the murders disguised as suicide. The phone found near the body was taken for examination.

“Shishov finally moved to Kyiv in the fall of 2020, when the Lukashenko regime began mass repressions against the opposition, and registered the“ Belarusian House in Ukraine ”in the Ministry of Justice of Ukraine, a community of mutual assistance of Belarusians”-the organization’s Instagram account says. The BDU created (quoting the site) “for a comfortable adaptation of all Belarusians who suffered in the struggle for their constitutional rights and free Belarus and were forced to leave the country.”

Over the past six months, activists spent 60-day ( announced as an unlimited, until a complete victory over the regime. - O. M. ) a promotion at the Embassy of the Republic of Belarus in Kiev under the name “Watch of Light” (“New” wrote about it), a series of “Beloruss marches”, raised funds to update the monument to fellow countrymen who died on the Maidan and in the war in the Donbass. The activities of Vitaly Shishov himself, according to his colleagues, were aimed at building horizontal connections between Belarusians living in different countries, the formation of a diaspora, as well as the so -called deanonymization of the “quiet” - Lukashenko’s special services agents.

The recent information is confirmed by the message of the opposition telegram channel of Nech: “Vitaliy Shishov revealed the“ Tikhars ”on promotions in Kyiv. In June, he started a TG channel to collect information about the Chekists working outside Belarus. ”

At the same time, many sources indicate a connection between the “Belarusian House in Ukraine” and Sergey Korotkikh, also known as “Botsman” and “Malyuta”.

The Nazi Korotkhi back in 2014 received Ukrainian citizenship for participating in the Azov volunteer battalion ( an organization banned in the Russian Federation. - Ed. ).

The “Belarusian house in Ukraine” claims - I quote the message of the Belarusian human rights center “Vesna” - that Vitaly Shishov was watching in Kyiv, suspicious personalities were approaching him more than once, and tried to speak. “The facts were relevant police notifications. We were also warned by both local sources and their people in the Republic of Belarus, about all kinds of provocations up to abduction and liquidation. Vitaliy Stoically and with humor treated these warnings, stating that perhaps at least this “BDU” would leave the information vacuum. There is no doubt that this is an operation planned by the Chekists to eliminate a really dangerous for the Belarusian regime. We will continue to achieve the truth! " - Say colleagues Vitaly in the "Belarusian house in Ukraine."

Yuri Shchuchko, one of the activists, on the air of the present time program (the television channel was included in the Russian Federation in the media-foreign register) said that he was among those who discovered Shishov's body. “At this time, the police interviewed local residents ... This is an old scheme. A man is hanged with traces of beating on his face. Nothing is abducted. "

According to Shchuchko, “information came from the SBU - they said that we were more accurate because there is a network of agents of the KGB of Belarus, and possibly everything. Vitaly asked me to take care of the loved ones who surround him. He had a strange foreboding, ”Shchuchko shared. It is impossible not to notice that the story of a friend is somewhat different from how they described the state of Shishov in the “Belarusian House in Ukraine” - “treated with humor” ...

"Someone else doubts who killed Pavel Sheremet?" - Ukrainian journalists write in social networks. “The Belarusian special services in our territory are as active as Russian. Therefore, this case should not be engaged in the police, but counterintelligence and the security service of Ukraine. ”

At the same time, the head of the National Police of Ukraine, Igor Klimenko, at a briefing in Kyiv, rejected the assumptions that Shishov or his relatives previously turned to law enforcement officers regarding surveillance of them: “I want to assure that there were no such appeals in the past or this year. If additional information is received during the pre -trial investigation, it will immediately be transferred to the relevant services, ”Klimenko promised.
