The mother and sister of Vladislav Kovalev, sentenced to death for the attack in the Minsk metro, ask a higher court to recognize the wrongful refusal to the district court to start civil proceedings in relation to a number of the highest state authorities, who refuse to reveal the burial place of the shot.

Human rights defenders and journalists who came to court to support Love Kovalev hit the courtroom only by its own insistence: the members of the Judicial Board tried to prevent their presence at the meeting - ostensibly because of lack of space. Complaint with the mother and sister of Vladislav Kovalev looked hour.

Bench decision of the Minsk City Court Kovalev Love commented: "There is nothing new and I did not expect to hear: the government tries to have" kicked "- to put it mildly. But a negative answer - it is also an answer. We will not stop, we will refer to other authorities. "

Lyubov Kovaleva and her daughter Tatiana Kozyar trying to bring to justice the Committee for State Security, the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Department of Corrections, who refuse to let the burial site of Vladislav shot. According to the power structures that right gives them the Criminal Code of the Republic of Belarus. Relatives of Vladislav Kovalev, in turn, appealed to the decision of the UN Committee on Human Rights, which calls these actions cruel and inhuman treatment.

For the first time in the process related to the case of Vladislav Kovalev, attended Russian lawyer Sergei Golubok, who commented on the content and essence of the process: "The positive outcome of today's court session was the fact that the process has been admitted attorney who has a certificate issued by the judicial authorities of the Russian Federation . After all, it is no secret that our colleagues in Belarus are subject to very strong pressure when involved in such processes. In fact I want to say that Belarus is once again does nothing to even give the impression that the following decision of the Committee on Human Rights Council - a body set up under an international treaty to which Belarus is a 70s and whose competence recognized in 1992.

"There are countries that do not openly carry a decision of the Committee on Human Rights, the world's only two: oddly enough - this is Sri Lanka, with its president today met senior officials in Belarus, Belarus and myself - I do not think that this is a worthy company. For example, Russia is trying to take measures to implement the decisions of the United Nations. It does not always work, but the position of the Russian courts is that this is not an empty paper. Belarus in the face of their vessels continues to say that we do not pay attention to the decision of the UN Committee on Human Rights. And in fact, we are not talking about how to reverse the verdict to return what return is impossible. The thing is to stop the continuation of the inhuman treatment to the relatives, because this attitude is still going on, "- said the Russian lawyer.
