Two Belarusian Activists Jailed For Petitioning Authorities
A district court in Salihork, Minsk Oblast, on January 29 sentenced Alyaksandr Tsatsura and Larysa Nasanovich to 15 days in jail for participating in an unsanctioned rally, Belapan reported. Tsatsura, leader of the unregistered organization For The Free Development of Enterprise, and Nasanovich, a former deputy chairwoman of the Women's Party Hope, attempted to deliver two petitions to the Salihorsk City Executive Committee on behalf of small-business owners and people who have been deprived of their benefits by new legislation. Police detained Tsatsura and Nasanovich after they read out the petitions to the gathering of nearly 100 people, then arrested them and charged with organizing an unsanctioned rally. AM
