In Zhlobin, Homel Region, a teenager was tried for tearing down and throwing a red-green flag into a trash can. For “desecration of state symbols”, he was sentenced to a year of liberty restriction. The flag that the boy took down was hanging on the roof of a hypermarket. According to investigators, he “demonstrated a disdainful and offensive attitude toward the state symbols of the country.”

As the regional newspaper writes, the off-site court hearing was held on Tuesday at the Zhlobin Metallurgical College. Students and teachers were herded to it.
