Police to deal with the journalist of “Sovetskaya Belorussiya” who published Haidukou's letters
The Savetski District Prosecutor's
Office of Minsk filed to the police an appeal of the “Center of
Legal Information” concerning the disclosure of the secret of
investigation by a journalist of “Sovetskaya Belorussiya”.
On
23 August the educational institution “Center for Legal
Transformation” filed to the prosecutor's office an official
address with the demand to hold a check-up and give a legal
assessment to the actions of an author of “Sovetskaya Belorussiya”,
Ihar Dolin, who published letters of the convicted Vitsebsk activist
Andrei Haidukou in issues No. 155 and No. 156.
These letters
were a part of the criminal case which was considered in Vitsebsk
behind the closed doors. They were published in the newspaper before
the verdict entered into legal force. At present the Savetski
District Police Department will discriminate in the legality of the
disclosure of these materials.
