The case concerned an incident at JSC "Polotsk-Fiberglass": activists wanted by the authorities reasoned response, whether by order of the leadership of one of the shops in the melting furnace burned alive cat with kittens.
On this case, employees of the company told the chairman of the Department of the Free Trade Union of Belarus Viktor Stukov. He sent a formal request to the Director-General Nikolai Katchanovski and joined the campaign e-appeals, which initiated Alain Wolyniec-Chernyaeva, head of the civil campaign "No - cruelty to animals".
According to her, the electronic circulation went through the online service zvarot.by once in two instances - in Polotsk Polotsk regional executive committee and city prosecutor's office:
"The answers were to come to each recipient individually. But all have been foreseen by the law, and the people did and did not wait. Only about 200 people wanted to responsible agencies have tested and each gave a reasoned response - required by law of the Republic of Belarus "On the complaints of citizens and legal persons." But the treatment of 200 people have simply ignored! With such behavior of officials in our practice we have faced for the first time!"
SPB independent activist Victor Stukov was the only one who has made at least some response from the executive committee. And then - only after a second application through the official website of district administration:
"The first e-mail I sent an appeal on 15 October. After a couple of weeks I went about his business in the prosecutor's office, at the same time asked how soon I will write the answer. The prosecutors were surprised: said that the system of electronic calls they did not work and that treatment is likely to accumulate in the regional prosecutor's office ... I realized that the structure of the response wait bepolezno. But the executive committee in such a system is! Waited 30 days stipulated by law, and did not wait. When the time has passed more than a month, asked by forms of electronic references online: so where is my answer to the previous appeal? Then I finally answered the letter. Like, you have the answer, and look for it yourself on the website of the Executive Committee under the heading "Question - answer", - Mr. Stukov said.
Reply posted on the site consists of one sentence: the facts have not been confirmed. On the basis of this view, whether the test was carried out at the company, whom she carried out, what were the results - this says nothing. The site is no date of when there was such a response, nor the names of the official who wrote it. Despite the fact that the law on citizens and legal persons requires that the answers were substantiated, containing full information and sent by e-mail of the applicant.
However, says Victor Stukov, even two hundred and senders have not received such answers. Independent trade union activist plans to file a complaint against the Polotsk officials who violate the law. For ignoring complaints and violation of terms of consideration of administrative responsibility.
Earlier, in a letter signed by General Director of JSC "Polotsk-Fiberglass" Mr. Stukov was informed that the company conduct internal audits and witnesses to the incident with the burned kittens have found. Therefore, the administration believes that the facts were not confirmed. However, for the leadership of the company - is to check the interested party, and it is unlikely that the workers dared to confirm the authorities that they had seen the violation. Other checks, including on the part of the prosecutor's office, as required in the citizens' e-applications, this incident has not been carried out.
