For “conduct incompatible with public service.”
Inna Kokhova , a judge of the Orsha District Court and the City of Orsha , was removed from office for “committing a misconduct incompatible with service in the civil service.” This follows from a decree by Alexander Lukashenko dated June 22, published on the National Legal Internet Portal, according to “Zerkalo”.
By the same decree, Lukashenko appointed a number of judges and dismissed more than ten people from their posts. Most of them resigned; several did so voluntarily or because their terms had expired. Kohova became the only judge to be removed specifically on the grounds of misconduct incompatible with public service.
The decree does not specify the reasons for this decision.
According to the human rights project Dissidentby, while serving as a judge, Inna Kokhova issued politically motivated rulings. The project’s database indicates that she was involved in at least 24 cases in which fines and administrative arrests were imposed.
In particular, Kokhova sentenced Alexander Nesterov in a criminal case involving insulting a government official. He was sentenced to 2.5 years of restricted freedom to be served in an open-type facility. Also, according to human rights activists, she sentenced Mikhail Chamuruk to 12 days of administrative detention for “feeding pigeons” in Orsha on May 10, 2020.
