Distributors of “Nyasvizhski Chas” are chased away from “shop’s territory”
The “Nyasvizhski Chas” newspaper was driven away from shops and “Belsayuzdruk” news-stalls. Now its distributors are driven away from shops’ entrances as well. They are told they cannot sell anything there.
Distributors of the newspaper faced this problem during the distribution of the latest issue.
The director of the shop went out together with two policemen. He asked the sellers to walk two steps away from the entrance referring to the fact that it was “the shop’s territory”. A policeman watched them to fulfil the director’s demand.
By the way, “Nyasvizhski Chas” used to be sold in that shop. The director noted that he did not want to chase the distributors away and that he had been ordered to do it.
