Brest Region Court turns down appeal against picket ban
On
4 June the Brest Region Court considered the appeal filed by activist of the
Belarusian Leftist Party “Fair World” and member of the Trade Union of Radio
Electronic Industry Aliaksandr Dzenisenka against the a ruling of the Leninski
District Court of Brest.
The activist intended to hold a picket against his house rent and high percents
in state loans for house-building on 17 March. However, the deputy head of the Brest
City Executive Committee Viaclaslau Khafizau banned the action, and the Leninski
District Court upheld his decision.
Though the applicant undertook the responsibility for the public health, order
and cleaning of the territory after the picket, the court stated that the ban
was lawful as he hadn’t concluded service agreements with medics, police and
communal utilities, thus violating provisions of notorious ruling of the Brest
City Executive Committee #1210 of 30 June 2011.
As the regional court left the verdict standing, Mr. Dzenisenka intends to file
an appeal with it head, Tamara Suchok. In general, he is going to pass all
court instances to prove the rightness of his position.
