Belarusian state channel ONT showed a film with a confessionary testimony from arrested Russian citizen Yegor Dudnikov

In film approvedthat Yegor Dudnikov was expelled from Belarus because of his participation in the protests of 2020, and then illegally returned to the country and became one of the administrators of the telegram channel “Civil Self-Defense Units of Belarus” under the nickname “Evil Batts”.

“OGSB-chat, you, in fact, are some idiots, who are nothing from themselves: there are absolutely no actions except words. I have nothing to tell you, I cooperate with the investigation “, – He speaks Dudnikov.

The TV channel bases its film on data allegedly obtained by the KGB of Belarus together with the ONT reporters themselves. According to GosTV, Dudnikov was run by someone called Dis.

The film claims that Dudnikov planned to create a similar telegram channel in Russia “in connection with the detention of Navalny.”

“During the protests in Russia, in connection with the detention of Navalny, there was an attempt to create a similar structure on the Internet, the Civil Self-Defense Detachments of Russia. These are all strings of the same chain, ”the announcement says.

Egor Dudnikov, a 20-year-old Russian, was arrested in Belarus and placed in a KGB pre-trial detention center at the end of May. He is accused of “organizing group actions that grossly violate public order and are associated with clear disobedience to the legitimate demands of government officials, which entailed disruption of the work of transport and enterprises” (part 1 of article 342 of the Criminal Code). Under Belarusian law, Dudnikov faces up to three years in prison.

At the same time, Yegor’s relatives claim that he did not participate in the protests, but was only engaged in dubbing videos for the Belarusian opposition.

“This is the same as imprisoning a taxi driver for giving a ride to an oppositionist. He is a purely technical worker, was involved in the voice acting of the videos that the opposition made after the August 2020 protests, ”said Yegor’s lawyer Anton Gashinsky.
