Baranavichy police hinder picket against repressive actions of the authorities

Civil activist Ryhor Hryk (in the photo) filed another application to the Baranavichy City Executive Committee for authorization of the picket “Stop repressive actions of the authorities and officials”. He has already concluded service agreements with the communal utilities and medics.

According to ruling #1497 of the Baranavichy City Executive Committee, dated 16 June 2009, he must attach copies of service agreements with medics, communal services and police to his application. However, he cannot conclude a service agreement with the city police department as its deputy head, lieutenant-colonel A.Trafimau, refuses to do it, saying he will sign the paper as soon as the executive committee authorizes the action.
