On 16 March, Polatsk Town and District Court dismissed an appeal lodged by local activist Mr. Kalesnik against official of the town executive committee Mrs. Hanebnaya, who banned a picket of solidarity with the victims of the 19 December 2010 police crackdown scheduled for 19 February.
According to Mrs. Hanebnaya’s speech in the courtroom, the projected picket could be dangerous due to a shop located nearby selling alcohols, which could have allegedly “result in violations of public order and security”.
