Hunger strike at Babruisk tractor spare parts plant
Activists with Belarusian Free Trade Union go on hunger strike over discrimination in collective agreements.
This is a preventive hunger strike and will last for three days. The head of the group, Mihail Kavalkou, is going without food near the clockhouse because he has not been allowed to enter the territory of the enterprise. The other three activists are on hunger strike at work.
The participants of the hunger strike demand that the administration stopped persecuting members of the Belarusian Free Trade Union and removed discriminatory paragraphs from the collective agreement.
The protest action began at 9 a.m. on March 25. The police have already warned Mihaial Kavalkou about the inadmissibility of the hunger strike that has not been allowed by the City Executive Committee. If he does not stop it, it will be considered an unauthorized picket.
