None of the 21 th picket requests for which the district administration filed Viciebsk members of the CCP BPF is not allowed. Pickets in support of a boycott of the event, which the opposition called "pseudo-" had to go through all parts of the city during the week and end on the last day of voting on 11 October.

The reason for the refusal of another to give permission for public gatherings – the usual for Viciebsk: the organizers of the shares does not enter into the contracts with its request by the police, community services and medical care to those shares. For this reason, in Viciebsk, year after year, prohibits all public events of the opposition.

As a rule, officials refer to the decision №881 Viciebsk city executive committee of 10 July 2009, which require specified contracts. But it seems that they themselves have bothered to give standard answers, and this time, they decorated their bans pickets something some variety. Now the answer is "zapretiteley" is mentioned not only the executive committee decision, and the law "On mass events".

Thus, the deputy head of administration of Pervomaisky district informed the applicants that "in accordance with Article 10 of the Law, it was decided Viciebsk city executive committee on July 10, 2009 № 881", and according to this decision, you need to have contracts.

Deputy Head of Administration of the Oktyabrsky district not referred to Article 10 (procedure for holding mass events) and Article 6 (procedure for consideration of the application and making a decision about) of the Act. "Based on the requirements of the above documents, you are not allowed to conduct the declared measures", – he wrote the opposition.

The deputy head of the district administration Natalya Railway Lepeshkina decided never to mention the decision №881, its prohibition is based solely on the alleged law: "For your application is not accompanied by agreements referred to in Article 6 of the law ... and therefore you are prohibited from carrying out the claimed mass event ". By the way, the answer Lepeshkin – the shortest. As they say, brevity – the sister of talent. And, indeed, it was necessary to have a special talent to be found in the Law "On mass events" contracts, which allegedly provided them. After all, neither in the 6th article referenced Lepeshkina, in any other article of the law even once the word "contract" is not used.
