On 6 April it became known that Minsk City Executive
Committee rejected the application of Aliaksei Kulik, activist of the human
rights project "GayBelarus" Aliaksei Kulik for holding a picket
"Day of Silence: We keep silent to be heard". LGBT activists intended
to hold a picket near houses #8-10
in Mayakouski
Street.
The official reason for the ban is that the picket would create obstacles to
the movement of pedestrians and traffic in Mayakouski Street and to the functioning
of the organizations located nearby.
