Judge Ala Miroshnik of the Minsk City Economic Court on October 7 sustained an eviction suit against a Protestant community called New Life Church., BelaPAN reported.
The suit was filed by the Maskowski district housing authority in September.

While speaking in the courtroom, New Life Church lawyer Syarhey Lukanin condemned attempts to take away the community's building as an attack on freedom of religion.

The community is to vacate its prayer house on Kavalyova Street as soon as possible and pay 350,000 rubels ($127) in compensation for the legal costs of the plaintiff, the agency quoted Lukanin as saying.

The community will use its right to appeal the ruling to the appellate panel of the Minsk City Economic Court within 15 days, he said.
