Supreme Court files protest to Homel Region Court on appeal of "Fair World" activist
A member of the "Fair World"
Valery Rybchanka received an answer from the Supreme Court concerning
the conditions in the remand prison of Buda-Kashaliova.
"There
it is stated that the Supreme Court considered by appeal and filed a
protest to the Presideium of Homel Region Court", says Mr.
Rybchanka. "I can't remember such precedents: as a rule, we
received runarounds in response to our appeals, after which we
immediately applied to the UN Human Rights Committee."
Mr.
Rybchanka applied to Homel Region Court in order to receive a copy of
the protest issued by the Supreme Court.
Bear in mind that the
head of a district branch of the "Fair World" Valery
Rybchanka and his ally Aleh Kastusiou were sentenced to 15 days of
arrest for handing out printed matter on the official Independence
Day, 3 July 2011. Mr. Rybchanka served his arrest in the remand
prison of Buda-Kashaliova. In some time he filed appeals against the
detention conditions in it, but received only formal replies and had
to apply to the Supreme Court as a result.
