Ihar Rynkevich: «There always exists opportunity to bring to justice militiamen perjuring, officials passing unlawful judgements»

The fabricating of administrative cases against the democratic activists has assumed the mass character in Belarus. The OMON staff (riot militia) and militiamen are perjuring on the courts that the oppositionists allegedly used obscene language, and the judges in their turn are passing the judgements unlawfully. “This is the lameness of the repression system, created by Lukashenka. As such, they are not able to think up something new and less banal. The so called facts in evidence of such a offence follow the same scheme: a militiamen says it took place, the civil people never witness. If somebody accompanied the person, his or her evidences are not taken into consideration. From the juridical point of view it is falsification of evidence and unlawful bringing to administrative responsibility”, - Ihar Rynkevich, the famous lawyer, co-chairman of the Public Commission on the Political Repressions Victims Rehabilitation, declared in the interview to Charter’97 press center.
