The court rejected the claim of Aleh Volchek

The judge of the Maskouski district court of Minsk Volha Husakova refused to consider the HR defender's claim.

She decided that Vouchak's case was not in the court's jurisdiction. 

Aleh Vouchak filed a claim back on July 10. He asked to close the center for isolation of law-breakers in the Akrestsina Street in order to bring its conditions into correspondence with the United Nations' Standard Minimum Rules for the Treatment of Prisoners.

The reason for filing a claim was his 4-days administrative detention, which Vouchak got on January 30, 2012. The human rights defender thinks that the confinement conditions there are inhuman and humiliate a person's dignity, do not correspond with the United Nations' Standard Minimum Rules for the Treatment of Prisoners and the Rules of Internal Regime of the Special Institutions of Internal Affairs. Vouchak notes that the confinement conditions also break the Constitution of Belarus and the Pact on Civil and Political Rights.
