“Brest Viasna” human rights organization denied registration

Human rights activists think the grounds on which the Brest region executive committee refused to register “Brest Viasna” are farfetched.

Euroradio has learnt this from Uladzimir Vyalichkin, the head of the initiative group on creating the organization.

This time the official reason for non-registration is the cancellation of the rent guarantee by the owner of the premises. A day before, the owner didn’t say he had any claims, the human rights activist told.

It should be reminded that “Brest Viasna” has been trying to register since January. The two previous refusals were motivated by inaccuracies in the charter and absence of the receipt for placement of the registration ad in a newspaper among the documents that were submitted for registration.
