Brest civil monitoring group struggling for monuments of history
As it was stated at the briefing, held
by the members of the civil monitoring group Iryna Laurouskaya,
Uladzislau Abramovich and Valery Faminski, the destruction of the
historical heritage is conducted and the public is not informed
about it.
The expert pointed at the fact that the authorities
were decreasing the protection zones around the Brest castle and
selling historical buildings.
The building works in the city
are conducted without being put to tenders. At the same time, nobody
is punished for damaging historical buildings.
According to
Iryna Laurouskaya, as a result of the unlawful and authoritarian
management of the city territory, there arose the danger of complete
destruction of the morphology of buildings of the 19th century.
Endangered is also the safety of the old town and the castle, which
can be put on the UNESCO list of historical heritage.
The
briefing participants decided to file a petition to the authorities
demanding to stop the construction of an bridge embankment over the
castle moat, whose construction in the protection zone had been
started secretly as well.
