Status of victims of Nazism will remain unchanged

On 15 April the Central Election Commission denied a group of Belarusian citizens headed by Arkadz Shkuran in creation of an initiative group for preparation of the draft law On Victims of Nazi Persecution and passing it to the National Assembly.

The reasons for the denial are that the initiative group was created not by an assembly, but by written questioning of people, and the Ministry of Justice stated in its conclusion that the draft law that was presented by the initiative group didn’t correspond to the Belarusian legislation.
