Registration of Brest Viasna suspended

The Chief Department of Justice of Brest regional executive committee ruled to suspend the state registration of the ‘Brest Viasna’ human rights association due to a number of trivial reasons, Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty reports.

The organization’s leader Uladzimer Vialichkin says the decision is both negative and positive, for ‘Brest Viasna’ was not denied registration.

‘Brest Viasna’ has been trying to obtain state registration since 2006.
