Homel Journalist Punished For “Working Without Accreditation”

Two administrative protocols for “working without accreditation” have been sent by mail to a journalist Kanstantsin Zhukouski.

One of them, is for the article “Pahonia” Is Symbol Of Personal Independence, Not The State One”, has been drawn up by Major Uladzimir Paulovich of Kalinkavichi district police department, Belsat reports.

A similar protocol has been sent by Major Aliaksandr Marozau from Karma police station, this time for the article “Karma Residents Without Water Since November.”

“I am a sole trader, I have indicated journalism as my line of work. I work within the law, I can send materials to anyone I like and wherever I like – it is not prohibited by law”, – Kanstantsin Zhukouski is surprised.

The journalist said that the police were hobnailing his right to work and wanted to deprive him and his family of the only source of income. Moreover, they made him lie, Kanstantsin Zhukouski is concerned:

“I told the policeman on the phone that I was a sole trader and I worked as a journalist, but he pointed out that I was not actually working.”
