Zhlobin: official events dedicated to Day of Builder instead of a picket
Zhlobin District Executive
Committee did not allow to hold two pickets, planned by members of
the Belarusian Leftist Party "Fair World" on 9 and 10
August. The denial, signed by the head of the executive committee
Henadz Suzdaleu, was recived by the head of the Zhlobin district
organization of the “Fair World”, Valery Rybchanka.
The
applicants intended to hold the both pickets in the “Dniaprouski”
park.
First of them was dedicated to a problem faced by the
Free Trade Union of Metalworkers: the Ministry of Justice refused to
return the union its seal and documents. Rybchanka and his supporters
were going to draw the attention of Zhlobin residents to this
situation, but the head of the executive committee explained that the
action could not be authorized as the oganizers didn't enter into
service contracts with the police, medics and public utilities.
“We
also intended to hold another picket on 10 August in order to convey
to Zhlobin residents our vision of the challenges facing Zhlobin, but
it was forbidden with a reference to some events on the occasion of
the Day of Builder, which will be allegedly held in the park”,
stated Mr. Rybchanka.
A similar thing happened in the Homel
region, where a picket was banned with a reference to a rehersal of
dance collectives prior to the “Sozh Roundelay”, which will be
held in September 2013.
