Mahiliou prosecutor’s office sees no crime in actions by election commission chair
Mahiliou
prosecutors found no corpus delicti in the actions of
the chairman of the district election commission No. 87 Aliaksandr Kazhamiakin.
The
decision was received by the head of the Mahiliou regional office of the Belarusian Popular Front "Adradzhenne"
Zmitser Salauyou.
According
to deputy head of the prosecutor’s office of Mahiliou Kastrychnitski district Mr.
Karachenka, Zmitser Salauyou’s complaint of a refusal to accredit
representatives of the Party as observers at polling stations of Pramyslovaya
district No. 87 was checked. As
a result of the inspection, the prosecuting authorities refused to pen a case
referring to Par. 1-2 of Article 29 of the Code of Criminal Procedures of the
Republic of Belarus.
The
activist’s complaint argued that on September 19, 2012 the chairmen of the
election commissions Nos. 45, 56, 58 and
of Pramyslovaya constituency No. 87 did not allow observers from the BPF "Adradzhenne"
to enter the polls. The
reason for this was that the local office of the Party did not occupy its legal
address.
Zmitser
Salauyou says that the officials were ordered not to bring the case to criminal
prosecution.
"No doubt, Mr. Kazhamiakin
violated laws and did not allow our observers to monitor the process of voting
and counting of votes for ridiculous reasons. The
fact that our office is not located at its legal address should not be his
business. The
regional department of justice has no complaints, especially since Mr. Kazhamiakin
interfered into an issue he has nothing to do with. I did not expect any other
answer from the prosecutor’s office. We
will complain to the court and in court try to prove a violation of the
Electoral Code,” says Zmitser Salauyou.
