Baranavichy: authorities ban picket against death penalty

The deputy head of Baranavichy city executive committee Dzmitry Kastsiukevich answered the application of Siarhei Housha for holding of a picket against the death penalty on 10 October, the World day against the death penalty.

The official didn’t even inform the applicant about the exact reasons for the refusal. He just wrote: ‘Your application for holding of a picket in Baranavichy on 10 October 2009 does not meet the legal requirements’.

The applicant intends to appeal against the ban of the city authorities.
