Mahiliou Region Court leaves Dzmitry Salauyou in KGB register

On 14 April the Mahiliou Region Court considered the appeal of a civil activist Dzmitry Salauyou against the verdict of the Leninski District Court which left in force the warning issued to him by the KGB for participation in the 19 December protest rally in Minsk and organization of the street actions in Mahiliou that “could result in mass riot”.

The trial was held by Judge Mikalai Hladki in absence of the defender who was abroad at the time. Human rights defender Barys Bukhel is not surprised with the results of the trial. “Now we will think what to do next – to go to the Supreme Court or to apply directly to the UN Human Rights Committee without it,” – says Barys Bukhel.
