Party secretary Dzianis Sadouski has just received a reply to his letter addressed to the administration of the Palace of the Republic. His request to let their premises to the party so that it can hold its pre-election conference has been declined.

“The judge wanted to know on what grounds militiamen Minin and Shkradzyuk, who actually detained me, accused me of resisting them. But they failed to explain this. I believe, the judge had to pass a just verdict for two obvious reasons: firstly, because my charges were absolutely groundless and ridiculous, and secondly, because the regime is not willing to jeopardize its reputation or give people another reason to criticize it on the eve of the elections”, says Taisiya Kabanchuk.

Vital Rymasheuski, presidential aspirant from the Belarusian Christian Democracy, has just finished his tour of Belarus, which started on 24 July. Altogether, Rymasheuski has visited over 30 Belarusian cities for the purpose of preparing his election campaign.

Yauhen Anishchanka, BCD activist and national deputy from Orsha, has just submitted an appeal to repair Mahilyouskaya street to the local executive committee. His petition was signed by 56 people residing along this street.

Taisiya Kabanchyk, leader of the Mahilyou regional branch of the BCD, must appear in court on 31 August. She was charged with resisting the militiamen who detained her on 25 March. The trial starts at 2 p.m.

Different kinds of opposition organizations are going to take part in the forum of the Minsk region’s democratic coalition. The forum is to take place on 29 August. The Belarusian Christian Democracy will be represented by Leanid Skarabahaty.

Barys Kuchynski, national deputy and member of the BCD from Slonim, appealed to the district authorities demanding to carry out a general improvement of the area near Brestskaya street. His appeal was signed by 193 residents of the district. Although he received a reply from the district executive committee, the authorities took no actions.

Activists of the BCD from Polatsk and Navapolatsk are going to meet on Saturday, the 28^th of August, in order to prepare the election campaign and the party’s registration.

The Founding Congress and the pre-election conference of the BCD are going to take place on Sunday, the 12^th of September. It will be the third attempt of the Belarusian Christian Democracy to receive state registration. In 2009 the party held two founding congresses, however the Ministry of Justice groundlessly refused to register the party.

There were about 20 people at the meeting. It was attended by members of the BCD, a number of priests and some independent journalists. During the meeting Vital Rymasheuski handed out the theses of his election programme, told the participants about the current situation in the Belarusian democratic movement and about the goals the party is presently pursuing.

Presidential aspirant Vital Rymasheuski is soon going to finish his tour of the Brest region, where he is currently meeting with local members of the Belarusian Christian Democracy for the purpose of preparing his election campaign.

Homel activists of the BCD have been defending a gorgeous park in the centre of the city for a month already. They submitted some petitions to the local authorities asking to retain the park, but no result followed. So they are going to take the issue to court.

Pabeda is a large village in the Homel region. On 21 July the local authorities informed its residents about the plans to demolish their houses for the purpose of building a four-lane road. The villagers have established a civic committee and are appealing to organize a public discussion concerning this issue.
