Hlybokaye: authorities ban picket in support of political prisoner Mikita Likhavid
Yaraslau Bernikovich, a civil activist from the town
of Hlybokaye, applied for authorization of the action in the first half of
July. He intends to hold the picket on 3 September near the House of Culture.
However, the authorities refused to authorize the action. In their answer they
explained that the territory will be repaired at the time of the action. By the
way, officers of the Hlybokaye District Executive Committee answered
Bernikovich's application on 29 August, the last day when they could do it
according to the legislation. Most probably, it was done to prevent him from
changing the time of the action by filing another application.
By the way, no workers or special equipment was seen near the House of Culture
on 30 August. Mr. Bernikovich intends to visit the place at the time of the
action to see whether the officials told truth in their answer.
