In Polotsk there is a scandal associated with the publication of information on our website about forbidden in concert Zmiter Vaitsyushkevich. In the center of the scandal is Valentine Kruk, director of the center of Polotsk crafts and national cultures, which was scheduled concert singer.

Mrs. Valentina addressed to the editor of our site. She asked to inform the public that does not know about the source of information on the executive committee meeting in Polotsk, which she attended. For information about this meeting, she never informed journalists of our site it did not bind, no she did not give interviews. Who is the source of publication - she did not know.

According to Valentina Kruk, she is not dismissed and continues to work. For help to the Human Rights Center "Viasna" or other human rights activists about her dismissal she had not applied.

According to Valentina Kruk, a message posted on our website, that she was threatened with dismissal, is an intervention in her personal life. She believes that the author of the publication violated the norms of journalistic ethics.

For our part, the editorial acknowledges that Valentine Kruk has no relation to the emergence of information to ban the concert of Dmitry Vaitsyushkevich in Polotsk and of the executive committee meeting in Polotsk. We apologize for any problems that may have Mrs. Valentina due to our publication.
