Teacher of Beshenkovichi, poet and bard George Stankevich appealed against the decision of the district court that on April 3 fined him 50 basic units for the production and distribution of the newspaper "Kryvinka", which is published on the own funds of the founder. However Stankevich himself could not attend the examination of the application. Svetlana Ivanova judge ignored the fact that in the courtroom gathered indifferent to the result of people Vitebsk human rights activists, and did not consider the case publicly.

Human rights activist Pavel Levinov signed the book of complaints. He believes that the judge violated the right of George Stankevich to a hearing in open court on public trial: "We told the judge that we have in the room, and that we are waiting for the result, although the George Stankevich could not come. However, this had no effect on the judge. Now we know the result only after George Stankevich receive judgment by mail. Cassation complaint he filed with the district court Beshenkovichi April 12, there had to send the case to the Regional Court, and in this court should consider it no later than within one month of receipt. Result will have to wait."
