Published: December 16, 2004

The matter is that the presidium of Minsk Regional Deputy Soviet deprived a part of the deputies of the deputy soviets of Minsk district of the right to be nominated as candidates to the Parliaments. By this the presidium violated the Constitution and electoral legislation. However, Central Election Commission stated that the participation of the excluded deputies in the election “couldn’t influence the results of the voting” and stated it wasn’t a law violation.

Minsk Regional Prosecutor’s Office passed the complaint of the BPF members to Maladechna inter-district prosecutor. Before that Maladechna Inter-District Prosecutor’s Office passed this complaint to Minsk Regional Prosecutor’s Office and wrote about it in the answer to the complaint.
