The reason for the ban, according to the executive committee - the lack of service contracts, medical stocks, utilities and police. "Meanwhile, neither physicians nor the utility did not respond to our proposal to conclude a contract," - says one of the applicants Protesters campaign Dmitry Lupach.

He said that the statement was sent to the executive committee on the same day as the letter to the responsible services: "The Board hurried answered us in 10 days. Following the letter of the prohibition action came the reply from police department. From this it follows that the militia leadership purposely waited until we fail. Indeed common sense letter is as follows: say, you banned the campaign, hence we deem it inexpedient contract. Municipal office and clinic silent until now, do not tell us any "yes" or "no". If the answers come in time and were positive, that until March 15, we would have had more time to appeal to the Executive Committee about the picket to the Day of the Constitution."

Picket to Constitution Day was supposed to be proof of respect for the state to main public document which spelled out basic rights of citizens, the applicants believe shares Glubokskaya activists Jaroslav Bernikovich and Dmitry Lupach. However, today with the realization of the right to public expression of opinion and the right to assemble in the Deep obvious problems. Are not allowed to picket or Constitution Day, no previous action - a picket of solidarity with political prisoners, which did not take place in the Deep November 23 last year.

Hlybokaje executive committee justifies its refusal on the same basis - refers to the lack of service contracts of shares which must be enclosed in accordance with the pre- decision of the Executive Committee № 167 "On the determination of locations for holding rallies and picketing". But do it in advance, as it turns out, is impossible - because responsible services purposely wait until the local authorities banned stocks.
