Brest: family gets evicted before the final court verdict
The attempts of the Haduns
to prove the groundlessness of the Brest City Executive Committee
about the poor state of house in Heroyau abarony Brestskai Krepastsi,
18, brought no results.
The court proceedings concerning the
building, located near the central city park of Brest, has lasted for
several years already. Uladzimir Hardun didn't manage to convince the
court that the wooden house where his family lives is not in the
state of emergency and the local authorities are just trying to get a
plot of land in a very attractive location, which can be offered to
investors for good money.
Though Uladzimir Hadun is still
appealing the court verdicts handed down in favor of the executive
committee, representatives of the housing service showed impatience:
on 12 July they called the police and bailiffs in order to speed up
the forced eviction of the family to an apartment in a distant suburb
of Brest (given to them by the authorities instead of the house). The
only thing the owner managed to get after the negotiations at the
executive committee was the postponement of the eviction for one
week.
As stated by Uladzimir Hadun, apart from appeals to
courts, he wrote letters to the Office of Prosecutor General, arguing
that the ruling that declared his house as unsuitable for living was
groundless. In particular, Mr. Hadun states that his house has quite
good conditions, as it is supplied with hot and cold water, gas,
heating and sanitation. Also, the house is located next to the city
park and children's and medical institutions – all that is missing
in the Paudniovy suburb, to which the authorities are trying to
relocate the family.
