Dzmitry Yaustratau is trying to return the land, unlawfully passed to a farmer
This
time, a citizen of the village of Niadashava-2 in the Mahiliou
district of the Mahiliou region filed a review appeal to the Supreme
Court of the Republic of Belarus.
He intends to appeal the
verdict of the panel of judges of the Mahiliou Regional Court of 1
July 2013 against the verdict of the Leninski District Court of
Mahiliou of 8 May on the appeal against the ruling of the Mahiliou
District Executive Committee concerning the confiscation of the lands
of the Niadashau Village Soviet and passing to
the collective farm “Pralesak” an area
of 12.97 hectares within the limits of the settlement of
Niadashava-2.
Moreover, Dzmitry
Yaustratau wants to file the case to a new consideration at the
Leninski District Court of Mahiliou at the stage of the preparation
of the appeal.
“The farmer Yury Korshunau ploughed up the
piece of land which was passed to him and saw corn on it. However,
this plot of land is near the water pool and now the people cannot
access it directly. He also ploughed up the road to the reservoir and
now the people cannot access it directly. Moreover, it was a meadow
which was transferred to the category of arable. My protest against
the use of this land is predetermined by the fact, that the passing
of the plot of land took place without the public discussion, as
demanded by the law,” says Dzmitry Yaustratau.
Bear
in mind that after Dzmitry Yastratau turned attention to the existing
problem with the passing of the land of the general use to farmer
Korshunau without civil hearings, activists of the Belarusian Social
Democratic Party “Hramada” started a campaign for the
introduction of the Law “On public hearings”. Residents of
Niadashava-2 actively signed under the appeal to members of the local
council and the Parliament. They gathered around 500 signatures, but
the deputies saw now sense in this law.
