Supreme Court to try case concerning denial to register BCD after “elections”

The preliminary court hearing on the complaint of the organizing committee for creation of the Belarusian Christian Democracy Party has taken place today.

It was decided that the trial is to start on October 13 at 10 a.m., charter97.org was informed by the press-service of the organizing committee.

Judge Babkou noted that the main claim of the Justice Ministry is that the Belarusian Christian Democracy Party had not submitted all the necessary documents. “I answered that, according to the law on political parties, we have provided all the documents on the list. And the Justice Ministry is going beyond its authority, demanding some additional documents,” the coordinator of the BCD organizing committee in Minsk Volha Kavalkova stated.

Representatives of the organizing committee have also been able to get acquainted with the statements by dwellers of Klichau district, stating that they had not been founder members of the BCD, and who said that they had made so under the pressure of the authorities. It turned out that the statements look almost like carbon-copies, and copy each one word for word. And on one of the statements the text is written by one person, and the date and signature by the other. In connection with the fact of pressure, the court was made aware of the information that the Investigative Committee directorate of Mahilyou region had received an application with a request to initiate a criminal on charges relating Article 149 of the Criminal Code (for the pressure on founders of the party).
