Ministry of Internal Affairs asks to postpone travel ban trials
The hearing of the complaint lodged by head of the Belarusian Helsinki Committee Aleh Hulak has been postponed until July 20.
Representatives of the Ministry of Internal Affairs have not appeared in court. They have only sent a letter to court.
Aleh Hulak: "The trial started 1.5 hours later than appointed - they were waiting for something from the Ministry of Internal Affairs. As a result, a letter from the Ministry was delivered and read out: they asked to postpone the trial until 10 p.m. on Friday, July 20. Bandarenka and Lyabedzka's hearings have also been postponed. Lyabedzka's hearing will take place tomorrow and Bandarenka's - tomorrow afternoon".
Let us remind you that the human rights defender is trying to appeal the actions of the Ministry of Justice and the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Hulak received a notification forbidding him to leave the state starting from March 5, 2012 on March 13. According to the reference, he had been sued for something. Hulak lodged a complaint about the actions of the Ministry of Justice and the Ministry of Internal Affairs for the illegal travel ban. The hearing was appointed for April 6 but was postponed for an uncertain term back then.
