Intex-press newspaper denied right to official distribution

The Brest-based independent newspaper Intex-press has received another refusal to be distributed in the state-owned Brestoblsoyuzpechat network.

In his letter of 12 January, vice-head of Brestoblsoyuzpechat T.Zinevich said the contract would not continue contract with the newspaper due to ‘network overload and under Article 391 of the Civil Code of Belarus’.

Thus, under current circumstances of ‘relative liberalization’ in Belarus the independent newspaper was given to understand it is not welcome in Brest.
