Labor Party to Face Liquidation
The Justice Ministry filed the liquidation claim to the Supreme Court.
Labor party leader Alexander Bukhvostaw and his colleagues from the People’s Coalition Five Plus believe the authorities have started to clear the field before the parliamentary elections.

The state information agency was told by the Justice Ministry press service, the Belarusian Labor Party had allegedly violated the legislation on the issues of legal addresses of its structures in Vitebsk, Hrodna, and other regions. The party is also accused of providing inaccurate data, ignoring the requests of the Ministry and other “gross violations”.
Alexander Bukhvostaw listed the following claims the Justice Ministry has: “they have raised the issue that out party is a member of the People’s Coalition. We made a clarification that it was not the party, but party members planning to participate in the election were members of the coalition. The party, as an entity, does not belong to any unregistered coalitions. They also incriminate spreading the platform of the unregistered coalition and signature of the letter in support of the Narodnaya Vola. I think they are using our party to polish up the attack on other political parties”.
The leader of Belarusian Labor Party believes the initiative of the authorities is directly linked to the parliamentary elections. Recently the Justice Ministry officials have shown interest in the activities of BSDH, BPF and other parties in opposition. Stanislaw Shushkevich and Vincuk Viachorka believe the authorities might try to liquidate other political parties just before the election.

Three 5+ Coalition Activists Detained for Leaflet Distribution
On June 24 at 7 p.m. three Navapolatsk activists of the People’s Coalition Five Plus were detained while distributing leaflets against the third term.

The police detained:
1. Zmitser Salawyow, human rights activist
2. Ina Barysevich, member of Navapolatsk Belarusian Students Association
3. Alaksei Trubkin, member of BPF party

The detained were taken to Navapolatsk city police board. They were kept by police till 9 p.m. The police seized the leaflets, but did not write any reports. The only report drawn up was of leaflet seizure from Zmitser Salawyow.
During the time they spent in the police station the detained observed different attitudes to themselves: from interest to undisguised aggression. For instance, police officer Alexander Yarashenka kept yelling on the detained: “You, the opposition, want to bring war here, just as in Abkhazia, I was there and saw how it was”, “you have never worked anywhere” (to Salawyow, who until recently was a research fellow at Polatsk university). Interesting enough, Yarashenka went to the same secondary school as Salawyow did, and remained in the same grade for several years. A senior lieutenant, who heard Yarashenka’s screams from a different room, had to come and take Yarashenka away in order to calm him down.
Members of the local 5+ coalition plan to complain against the illegal actions of police officers.
