Hlybokaje independent journalist Dmitry Lupach not allowed in the executive committee with a camera in the bag.

According to Mr. Lupach, he headed the Department of Economics to hand over documents relating to his private business, "I was walking with a bag. The policeman who was on duty at the entrance, asked to see that there is. Inside lay the camera "Nikon". Then the policeman said that "with professional cameras" input to the executive committee banned - they say, there is such an order business manager of the executive committee. Good thing we were together with a friend, whom I left a bag with a camera while walking to give the paper. "

At the same time, Dmitry Lupach decided to go to the business manager and the executive committee - ask what caused the ban to have a camera in a public building (where, incidentally, is based not only executive committee, but also a number of community organizations, including the local registry office).

"How to be the case, if I have to photograph a wedding? I registered an entrepreneur, and one of my types of business - this is just photographing. I really wanted to ask about this at the business manager of the executive committee Inna Anatolevny Pochepko. But I was told that she had gone to the meeting, and two hours later I called her office to find out what's what. Finally working day has ended, and the answer I did not get, "- said Mr. Lupach.

Executive committee on the site he found the phone number of "hot line" for "operational solutions of social problems." However, operational decisions did not happen: the journalist was told that the number of the reception of the executive committee, and that there has never heard of the disposal on the "professional cameras".

Dmitry Lupach decided the next day to apply to the Executive Committee a formal request - what specific photo equipment there are considered "professional" and what caused such extreme precautions.
