Shameless Candidate

Despite the prosecutor’s warning about inadmissibility of drawing his subordinates to any kind of activity, supporting his election, issued to the director of the open joint-stock company Berastse Central Supermarket, the candidate continues this corrupt practice:

1. On 24 February 2003 M. Dzerkach and N. Serykava entered the place of Berastse “Viasna” juridical address and called themselves members of Valiushytski’s initiative group. In private talk they said that they were his employees. They weren’t aware of the fact that “initiative groups” are not allowed by the electoral legislation at the stage of pre-electoral agitation.
2. In the evening of the same day to Berastse Regional branch of PA HRC “Viasna” applied several electors who saw in the city Valiushytski’s electoral posters without the issue data. Chairman of the branch went to the supermarket with some other citizens and demanded from the duty policeman to draw a report for the violation of Article No. 172 “Distribution of printed production without issue information”. In two hours after the shop closed Ya. Kapylow, local police inspector of Berastse Leninski BBIA arrived. Simultaneously there appeared three other persons. The main role was played by Siarhei Dziazhurka. He took the blame, saying that he printed the posters and could pay a fine for it if the citizens apply to the prosecutor.
