Zhlobin: Yauhen Basareuski files objection to the protest of the prosecutor's office
The member of the
Belarusian Leftist Party "Fair World" Yauhen Basareuski and
his counsel filed an objection to the protest of the Zhlobin District
Prosecutor's Office against his acquittal.
A similar objection
was filed by the other defendant in the case, his former colleague
Valiantsina Kastsiukevich.
“In our letter we reasonably
write that the court made a fair decision and no harm, especially
large-scale harm, was done to the state by the activity of our
enterprise”, says Mr. Basareuski. “And one more thing. The
prosecutor said in his protest that we pursued our own profit, but it
was denied even those witnesses who were called to the court hearings
by the prosecutor. This is also indicated in our objection.”
On
19 July the Zhlobin District Court acquitted the member of the “Fair
World” and his former colleague Valiantsina Kastsiukevich of
charges under Article 424 of the Criminal Code ("abuse of power
or of a position of authority"). The Zhlobin District
Prosecutor's Office didn't agree to this decision and filed a protest
to the regional court.
