Office Investigative Committee of the Vitebsk region does not consider applicants members of the Conservative Christian Party Belarusian Popular Front, who discovered human remains near the village of Hayes. On this basis, the investigating authorities denied them in getting the decision not to institute criminal proceedings and to familiarize them with the materials testing carried out by the UK Department of the Vitebsk region.

After 6 months, Head of Insurance at the Vitebsk region Alexey Larkin told the opposition that the investigation is not sufficient data extracted for such proceedings as an institution and a criminal investigation into the mass executions of citizens.
In addition, Mr. Larkin told the Conservative Christian Party BPF, who signed a declaration to the authorities about the discovery of the remains of the executed men, that they are not the applicants. This means that they are automatically deprived of procedural rights, including to receive and challenge in court the decision not to institute criminal proceedings, as well as get acquainted with the materials testing.
However, opposition activists disagreed with discriminatory, in their opinion, the actions of the chief of department SK A. Larkin and filed a complaint against him to the Department of Insurance in the Vitebsk region, in which he asked them to restore the procedural rights of the applicants.
