Brest: Dzianis Turchaniak sues regional officials
The Brest coordinator of the movement "For
Freedom" Dzianis Turchaniak filed a lawsuit against the Brest Regional
Executive Committee which refuses to inform him about the planned construction
of a hotel in the historical center of Brest.
In particular, no information is given about the essence of the agreement
between the executive committee and the private firm "MFB
Development" for the construction of a hotel complex in Savetskaya Street
in Brest.
According to Mr. Turchaniak, there is a real danger that the construction works
can do harm to houses #43 and 45
in Savetskaya street which have been included in the
state register of historical and cultural heritage.
The hotel will be constructed in the place where the houses are situated.
However, according to the project, it will occupy a much larger territory,
which means that they will be either united into one house, or dismantled at
all, after which a new multi-stored building will be constructed.
As it follows from the answer, received by Mr. Turchaniak from the executive
committee, the agreement is "confidential" and the public cannot be
informed about the details of the project. Mr. Turchaniak, being convinced that
executive authorities must act openly and publicly, applied to court.
