Belarusian Justice Ministry Suspends Closure Of Opposition Communists

Belarus's Justice Ministry has asked the Supreme Court to suspend its suit demanding the closure of the opposition Belarusian Party of Communists (PKB), Belapan and RFE/RL's Belarus Service reported on January 31. The ministry filed the suit against the PKB on January 4, accusing the party -- which was suspended for six months by the Supreme Court on August 2, 2007 -- of actions that are prohibited during the suspension period. Representatives of the ministry and the PKB met in the Supreme Court on January 30 and presented new materials relating to the case. "The Justice Ministry decided to study our report and filed a request for the suspension of the suit in connection with this," PKB Deputy Chairman Valery Ukhnalyou said. He also said that after February 2 -- the expiration of the suspension period -- the PKB intends "to resume its full-scale activities and catch up with all events that took place in this period." AM
