Railway Administration of Viciebsk region in the face of Natalia Lepeshkin did not allow city organization of the Belarusian Popular Front Party to hold a solemn meeting dedicated to the Day of Will. Failure to obtain and applicants from the CCP BPF Party, who wanted to organize a picket. Opposition activists had planned to hold its events 25 and 26 March in the Park of Culture and Rest of railwaymen.
The reason for the ban stock standard: "Your application is not attached agreement referred to in Article 3 of the decision of the Viciebsk city executive committee of 10 July 2009 ..."
After the Viciebsk city executive committee has decided to № 881 "On Mass Events in Viciebsk" to hold public or political action even in the established authorities of this site has become an unattainable dream. Get all of the necessary agreement from the City Housing Service, police and medics until none of the representatives of the local opposition organizations could not.
Another failure of the district administration says the chairman of the regional organization of the Belarusian Popular Front Party Kastus Smolikau:
– City Council adopted the decision discriminates against the opposition is organizing. At the same time, carrying out their activities, any attention to the decision number 881 power does not pay and can even hold them in a non-specific areas.
By submitting your application, we were a hundred percent sure that we carry out the action again not allowed. This refusal of the authorities once again expressed their attitude to the country's Constitution.
What do we do? We will celebrate the most important national holiday, which is a state ignores privately. In fact, the decision of the executive committee is against the law "On mass events", which refers to the applicants is not so tough. By its decision of Viciebsk authorities forced to do something that is not provided even republican legislation.
Commented ban celebratory actions and one of the applicants of the CCP BPF Jan Dzyarzhautsau:
– Failure of the administration of Railway area was not a surprise to me. Such disregard for the guaranteed constitutional right to freedom of assembly shows the level of legal culture of the local officials. I am not surprised this refusal.
Here's an example from my personal life: in 2010 I was penalized for holding an unsanctioned picket. Defending our rights, I came to the Human Rights Committee at the United Nations, who recognized me the victim, and the executive committee decision №881 illegal. After all, it violates the republican law "On mass events" and international agreements that are entered into Belarus. I have at the hands of the official response to higher international organization, but no one is not going to cancel any illegal decision, either to pay me compensation for moral and material losses.
