“The Youth of BPF”: Doctors violated the Hippocratic Oath by falsification of diagnoses

On January 28, the Council of “The Youth of BPF” made a statement against unlawful and forceful draft of head of the organization Franak Vyachorka.

The doctors violated the Hippocratic Oath by falsification of diagnoses, the statement says.

“We remind about the cancelled the determent till March, Franak Vyachorka received due to eye surgery. The chairman of “The Youth of BPF” was forcefully guarded to the Central Military Hospital, where his diagnoses were falsified. Falsification of diagnoses is violation of the Hippocratic Oath. The medical examination was controlled by the secret services, it has become vivid after Franak had been beaten in a ward (other patients of the hospital are witnesses) and guarded to the military enlistment office by people in mufti and militia,” “The Youth of BPF” writes.

Franak Vyachorka appealed against unlawful actions and falsified diagnoses. Having considered the complaint in the absence of Franak and his lawyer and delivered a judgement on fitness of the democratic activist for duty, the court violated the procedure, the youth activists go on.

Forceful detention and sending to a military unit violate all rights of Franak Vyachorka and Belarusian laws.

“On January 28, Franak Vyachorka was forcefully detained in the street and guarded to the military unit in Baranavichy. So, having violated all possible rights of Franak and laws of the Republic of Belarus, the authorities isolated the head of our organization from public activity for 1.5 year,” the activists conclude.

“We demand the authorities give him an opportunity to appeal against the decision of the Savetski district of Minsk in the Minsk City Court within 10 days and have an independent medical examination.

“The Youth of BPF” says that detention of a political opponent in the street is a direct proof of violation of human rights and punishment of freethinking. This is another case of repressions against “The Youth of BPF”. In this way, the authorities drafted former head of “The youth of BPF” Ales Kalita, successful student Zmitser Zhaleznichenka, chairman of Smarhon branch of “The Youth of BPF” Zmitser Byalyaeu.

We call on all international institutions and NGOs to support Franak Vyachorka and express protest against the political military draft. We announced beginning of the campaign “No to Political Drafting!”, “Freedom for Franak Vyachorka!” the statement says.
