The parishioners of the church "New Life" have defended their church from the bailiffs.

The bailiffs tried to get into the building of the Protestant church "New Life". According to the received papers, the believers were supposed to vacate the premises until April 26, writes nn.by.

Dozens of people became a human shield in front of the door, not letting the bailiffs in.

"Bailiffs have been here, but now they have already left. Thank God! The police also came, but our brothers gathered – about 100 people – and the police did not interfere. They went away. The bailiffs also left, but said that the case would be continued, as they abide by the court's decision of 2009. According to this decision, we have to leave our building, but we are not going anywhere. The bailiffs suggested that we should resolve this issue with the authorities. We try to do this, but the authorities do not go on contact," – lawyer of the Protestant community Siarhei Lukanin said in the commentary to krynica.info.

Siarhei Lukanin does not know the reasons why the authorities are trying to evict the church again right now. "Periodically, about once a year, they disturb us with such questions, but for a year and a half they have not been heard. We do not know why, " – the lawyer said.
