Administrative charges presented to former MP for interview to "BelSat"
On 11 March, police inspector Siarhei
Karytkin paid a visit to a former member of Bialynichy Disrtrict
Council, dweller of the village of Lebiadzianka Valery Vusik.
The
reason for the visit was that Mr. Vusik was charged with committing
an administrative violation during a visit of the shooting crew of
the TV channel "BelSat" to the local farm "Lebiadzianka"
on 28 February 2013.
"Before noon I was visited by local
inspector, Siarhei Karytkin", says Valery Vusik. "He drew
up another violation report against me, this time – on appeal of a
tractor driver of "Lebiadzianka", Mikhail Bialou, a nephew
of the farm's head, Piatro Bialou. As written by Siarhei Karytkin in
the report, I "used foul language towards Mikhail Bialou"
during the visit of the shooting crew of "BelSat" to
"Lebiadzianka" and "didn't react to the proposals to
come down", "waved hands" and "threatened with
the use of physical violence". Naturally, I didn't do anything
of the kind, which I wrote in the violation report. On the contrary,
it was Mikhail Bialou who insulted me in different ways, called me
"an old moron".
The journalist of the "BelSat"
crew who witnessed the events of 28 February, says that Valery Vusik
behaved correctly.
"It was Valery Vusik, who lead us to
the territory of the cattle-breeding farm "Lebiadzianka"
and I can state that he didn't commit any unlawful actions towards
Mikhail Bialou. On the contrary, it was Mikhail Bialou who tried to
hinder our work by various means. We have documented several episodes
where he insults and provokes Valery Vusik. I promised Valery Vusik
come to the trial as his witness if necessary," commented the
journalist.
Valery Vusik, in his turn, is going to consult
human rights defenders and appeal the unlawful actions of Bialynichy
police.
Mahiliou human rights defender Uladzimir Krauchanka is
sure that the pressurization of Valery Vusik on the part of
Bialynichy police will be increased in order to show other citizens
that they shouldn't engage in civil activities or oppose themselves
to the authorities. Human rights defenders are going to render all
necessary aid to Valery Vusik.
