Niasvizh authorities evict correspondent station of ‘Niasvizhski Chas’ newspaper

By its letter dated 30 June Niasvizh district executive committee prohibited the non-state newspaper Niasvizhski Chas to rent a premise for its correspondent station.

Bear in mind that the correspondent station has rented this office for several years. However, now the authorities start a crackdown on independent press. At first they prohibited selling Niasvizhski Chas at shops and newsstands. Meanwhile, the majority of the rooms in the building whether the office of the correspondent station used to be located remain empty.
