Valery Misnikov: Vitebsk journalists are at risk

Vitebsk human rights activist Valery Misnikov believes that Vitebsk journalists are in danger, they are pursued by the police, and judges openly violate the rights spelled out in the law. Publish an open letter to Misnikova "state responsible officials." The reason for writing the letter began administrative proceedings against journalists for a photo on a background of graffiti.

The reason for the persecution began posted on the websites photos troupe of journalists and bystanders with paper cells and birds on the background of the same graffiti on the wall of the regional House of Culture, has long closed.

That picture performance engendered in the minds of police officers with police fantasy zakononarushayuschim bias. It is no coincidence, because the essence of their work is a vision in everything and in all ordinary people zakononarushiteley. Presumption of integrity from police officers does not exist for non-post individual.

At the direction of the regional leadership of the district police major Rybakov was on a photo shoot participants administrative reports in which the accused photographed in the free expression of their socio-political views and in violation of the procedures established order of organization or holding mass events, ie picketing. For this article 23.34. The Administrative Code of the Republic of Belarus provides for liability in the form of a warning or a fine of up to 30 basic units, or administrative arrest.

However, the guardians of a procedural order for free expression (Rybakov), and senders of Justice (DA Gubanov, E. Tsygankova) refused to hear and see that neither the Law on Mass Events in the Republic of Belarus, the disposition of any article of the Code of administrative offenses are not spelled out terms and their definitions as a small group (the number of which is 2 - 7 people) as a photo shoot, as a performance.

Moreover, together, the policeman and the judge created a group of individuals who openly and publicly ignored the requirements of Articles 33, 8, 23 of the Constitution (Fundamental Law) of the Republic of Belarus and art. 19 of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, opened intentionally violated the requirement of Article 2 of the Law "On mass events in Belarus", Article 23.34 of the Code of Administrative Offences - a substantive law.

And then followed a series of violations of procedural law, as Judge E. Tsygankova deprived group of persons to be present in open court administrative material in relation to K. Mardzvincau, thus violating people's rights prescribed in Article 2.3 (protection of the rights and freedoms), 2.7 (the presumption of innocence - the circumstances can not be based on assumptions), 2.9 (public administrative process), 2.11 (the language in which is conducted the administrative process, not the language), 2.14 (public hearing on an administrative offense), 5.4 (procedure for resolution of disqualification of a judge - in the office of clerk of the court was the judge left the office to another office, the decision not to disclose all) PIKoAP the Republic of Belarus - is legal procedures.

For offenses committed only by a judge E. Tsygankova acts criminalized Article 190 (Violation of equality of citizens), 392 (Knowingly Giving an unjust judicial act), 395 (Falsification of evidence), 424 (abuse of power).

To confirm the reliability of the above quote a piece of text from the site of Radio Liberty, "the charges are based solely on speculation compiler Protocol Major Rybakov, who made no secret of its arguments such as "I think", "I read", "I think so, because it seems to me".

I am a law-abiding citizen and a respectable human rights laws of the Republic of Belarus and human rights, established in law, I bring to the public and policy-makers that I know the facts zakononarusheny court officials and police Zheleznodorozhny District of Vitebsk to take action against acts and bring the perpetrators to responsibility.
