Leanid Kulakou Stands Up To Officers Of Court
LEANID KULAKOU

The activist of the European Belarus proved that the civil services work absolutely unprofessional.

There appeared new evidences of unprofessional and not quite adequate activity of the law enforcement service of the city justice department.

Among the facts which human rights activists gathered, there was a story with the activist of the civil campaign European Belarus Leanid Kulakou, who, according to the orders of bailiffs, whose car was seized and whose phone was blocked. And all this despite the fact that he paid the fines imposed by court orders in October 2017.

On February 1, a continuation of this "epic drama" took place. Leanid Kulakou reports:

– A local police officer has just come to my house. He asked me to write him a statement explaining why I did not come to court officers. I refused to give any statements, noting at the same time that I had all the fines paid and I didn't owe anything to anyone. The police officer replied that he had other information from the court officers stating that I owed them. I had to show him the letter from the court officers saying that I owed nothing; I also demonstrated him a copy of the payment notification, proving that I paid all the fines back in October 2017. Even after all those fines, which were paid back in the fall, ...the authorities are still terrorizing me.

– I don't know why public services work so uncoordinated, unless this is a new way to persecute activists, – Kulakou says.

What he can do is to wait for the answer to the complaint, which Kulakou sent to the head of the Law Enforcement Department of the Department of Justice of the Minsk City Executive Committee. The activist asks to investigate into the reported facts and to bring the guilty persons to the liability provided for by law for illegal violation of the right of ownership of the car and for imposing a ban on the use of telecommunication services on him.

The lawyer of the Initiative against lawlessness in the courts and the prosecutor's office Tamara Siarhei, who also has a lot of trouble because of the actions of law enforcers, advises the following:

"To avoid such situations, now I send all the documents only by registered mail, and when I use e-mail to send requests or letters to government agencies I make copies of the sent letters and store them separately."
