Nyaklyayeu gains suit at law for “Movement Forward”

The meeting of Minsk Economic Court dedicated to the Minsk City Executive Committee’s appeal to liquidate an educational research institution “Movement Forward” has ended in favour of the latter. Yuliya Rymasheuskaya, the press secretary of the “Tell the Truth Campaign!” conducted by “Movement Forward” says: Yulіya Rymasheuskaya: "The judge asked the woman who represented the City Executive Committee many questions about the appeal. Her arguments looked sound. However, the reason for the appeal did not look sound from a legal point of view. The main question was what damage was done by the activities of “Movement Forward” as it was the reason for the appeal.

The representative of Minsk City Executive Committee wrote that the expenses for the appeal caused by Minsk City Executive Committee’s need to inform us about its claims were the main damage”.

The judge was not convinced by the argument. Naturally, the decision of Minsk Economic Court can be appealed in a court of highest resort. However, it is already possible to state that Minsk authorities have not managed to stop “Movement Forward”.
