As reported, recently the organizer of the "Russian marches" and the presidential candidate of Russia Alexander Baburin created in Belarus a political movement to "speed up integration." Representatives of the LDP, "Tell the Truth", Communists and a number of Black-Hundred organizations like "Rumola" took part in the dubious event. It is noteworthy that representatives of the Viciebsk Orthodox clergy also participated.

The administration of Horki penal colony No. 9 did not allow the republican and regional public monitoring commissions to see political prisoner Mikhail Zhamchuzhny.

So far, all laws have been adopted only in one of the state languages, with only a few of them in Belarusian. The attempt to change such a vicious practice failed: the chairman of the parliamentary commission on legislation Natalia Guyvik from Połacak "stabbed" the first bilingual law.

On the instructions of the leadership of the House of Representatives of the National Assembly of the Republic of Belarus, the Standing Committee on Work and Social Affairs of the PP considered the proposal of Viciebsk human rights activist Leonid Svetik regarding holding parliamentary hearings about the decree on "parasites".

This was announced at a press conference on August 15 in Minsk by the director of the Platform, Andrei Bondarenko.

In continuation of the topic of temporary detention isolators of the Vitebsk region, we quote the story of the co-chairman of the newly created BCD party, Pavel Sevyarynets.

Back in September 2014, during the acute phase of the armed conflict in eastern Ukraine, Viciebsk human rights activist Leonid Svetik appealed to the Viciebsk city executive committee. It asked him the address of the nearest bomb shelter equipped. To get a plausible answer, it took time.

Belarus has developed a draft presidential decree which provides for the restriction sites selling electronic steam generators (electronic cigarettes) and liquids to them, and the prohibition of their sale to persons under 18 years of age.
