The prosecutor’s office must carry out an objective investigation of all facts mentioned in the NTV film, the United Civil Party thinks.
Leader of the United Civil Party Anatol Lyabedzka prepared a request to the general Prosecutor’s Office of Belarus asking to open a criminal case over the facts shown in the documentary “Godbatka” aired on NTV channel, the website ucpb.org reports.
Anatol Lyabedzka commented on the request to the General Prosecutor’s Office: “This is a natural and normal reaction of the party to the facts mentioned in the film, which unequivocally say about political abductions and killings of leaders of the United Civil Party Henadz Karpenka, Yury Zakharanka, and Viktar Hanchar. The movie gives the names of the people who organized and performed the crimes. In this situation, the Prosecutor’s Office must initiate a criminal case and conduct an objective investigation of all facts in the film “Godbatka”.
We remind that on July 4, Russian NTV channel told the truth about political disappearances and killings of oppositionists in Belarus.
The programme “Chrezvychainoye Proisshestviye” (Emergency Event) on NTV channel showed the film “Godbatka” telling about the mysterious death of vice speaker of the Supreme Council of Belarus Henadz Karpenka, abductions and killings of former interior minister Yury Zakharanka, vice speaker of the Supreme Council, former head of the Central Election Commission Viktar Hanchar, journalist Zmitser Zavadski, businessman and public figure Anatol Krasouski. The film shows archive interviews with the abducted oppositionists and their relatives and says directly about involvement of the Belarusian authorities in elimination of their political opponents.
