A Homel resident Volha Liamtsava took an active part in the electoral team of the presidential candidate Uladzimir Niakliayeu during the recent presidential election. He distributed informational leaflets, took part in electoral pickets and observed the election.

She worked as a traffic controller at a private enterprise at the time. Her direct boss told her that she would have problems because of her activism and advised to stop it. However, she didn’t obey.

After the election, she faced wage arrears. Her wage was decreased and she was forced to work extra hours without being paid for it.

“Sometimes I would come home after my shift and receive telephone orders to return and work for another day in a row. Finally, I asked the administration about the reasons for such attitude. The boss answered that he had warned me about the possible problems and I could resign if I didn’t like anything,” commented Volha. As a result, she had to resign from her job and now is looking for another one.
