Brest: court won't punish officials
Dzianis Turchaniak, Brest regional coordinator of the For Freedom movement.
The Leninski District Court of Brest dismissed as
groundless the appeal of the local activist of the “For Freedom” Movement
Dzianis Turchaniak who demanded that the responsible officials be punished for
refusing to provide information.
According to him, the executive authorities violated the law by refusing to
provide information about the fate of two buildings in Savetskaya Street in Brest which have the status of historical and
cultural monuments. Mr. Turchaniak is convinced that information about any
construction works in such places must be public and the Brest Region Executive
Committee has no right to conceal information about the essence of the
investment agreement concerning such works.
At the same time the activist received an answer from the Brest Region Council
from which it follows that its members have no possibility to familiarize with
this agreements either. According to Dzianis Turchaniak, such answer is quite
strange, as control of the executive power is one of the functions of members
of the council.
