Due to the late delivery mailing Peter Ivanov went to court October district of Vitebsk with the requirement to make up for non-pecuniary damage. In court workers "Belposhta" admitted his guilt, the applicant brought the apologies and offered a settlement agreement. Such an agreement was reached, and an activist in the same place at the courthouse received from postmen 600,000 rubles compensation.

Story, which now come to an end, started during the parliamentary elections of 2012. That election, Peter Ivanov was a member of the campaign "Human Rights Defenders for Free Elections". In fulfilling its responsibilities to monitor the electoral process in this campaign, he met with the head of OSCE ODIHR Antonio Milososki.

The last to learn that on the eve of the final day of voting will be held daughter's wedding to Mr. Ivanov, sent congratulations that courier was delivered to the addressee on the day before the wedding. However, neither the day nor the next, nor the next week greeting the newlyweds have not been delivered. Peter Ivanov probably did not have known of its existence, if after a while he did not call the translator of the OSCE mission and by the way, do not be asked, how was the wedding and was seen as a greeting from the head of the OSCE mission.

Mr. Antonio Milososki was disappointed with the way the Belarusian postal service had treated his compliments, which, as he said, as if it was delivered to the addressee. And Peter Ivanov looked for a lost card. Finally, it was found, in one of the office sector, corporate service (SOKK).

The book of comments and suggestions were made SOKK appropriate remark, and in two weeks was received formal reply signed by the deputy director of the Vitebsk branch of "Belpochta" Catherine Zinkevich, in which she said: "violations process new delivery Netlist from workers Vitebsk branch of RUE" Belpochta "not set".

Senior officials recognized metropolitan appeal of Mr. Ivanov founded, a number of officials were reprimanded, and the deputy director of the Vitebsk branch of "Belpochta" Catherine Zinkevich was "cautioned against superficial consideration of citizens."

Obviously, after such a reaction from the side and the Minister and the Director General, members of the "Belposhta" the court had no choice but to admit the truth exposed to the requirements of their organization.

Peter Ivanov is convinced that his history shows that the struggle for their rights is not in vain. "I call on all those who believe that their rights have been violated, do not give up, keep fit, refer to human rights defenders who are sure to help. And it will be beneficial for our country ", - concluded the Vitsebsk activist.
