Ministry of Justice Rejects Complaint of United Civil Party

The Ministry of Justice rejected the complaint of the United Civil Party concerning the liquidation of its Vasniatsowskaya primary organization in Minsk Zavadski Borough. The party authorities believe its liquidation on 10 September 2004 was lawless, because, according to UCP, the decision to liquidate the organization was taken on 10 September 2004 and the check-up was conducted only in the evening of that day, though check-up must precede the liquidation.

As a result of these actions the pretender to candidates in Vasniatsowskaya electoral circuit, former Defense Minister Pavel Kazlowski wasn’t registered. The complaint against these actions was filed to the Ministry of Justice, which refused to consider it due to the fact that the flat of the party member, where the primary organization was registered, had no separate entrance.
