The protest rally of oppositionists who are banned to leave the country has taken place on October Square in Minsk today.

5 persons who are banned to leave the country on political reasons, Mikhas Pashkevich, Anatol Lyabedzka, Anton Kojpish, Zmitser Dashkevich and Franak Vyachorka.

Oppositionists put on tablets with words “Banned to travel abroad on political reasons”, and went to the building of Lukashenka’s residence. Later we passed a special address with a demand to allow us leaving the territory of Belarus and cancel the institution of persons banned to leave the country completely.

The leader of the United Civil Party Anatol Lyabedzka told to Radio Racyja that staff of the residence promised to pass the appeal to their administration.

“We were invited to an office, where two persons sat: the head of the chief directorate on work with citizens and legal entities’ addresses Buko and Mr Katushkin, the head of the reception office. We talked to them, they even started to speak Belarusian, and it all was civilized, in an absolutely normal form.

We told them about the situation, and told that we wouldn’t like to receive some formal reply, signed by some official from Tsentralny or Savetski district. We told that it is a political affair; that its decision is in this building. They promised that our address won’t be forwarded to anybody,” Anatol Lyabedzka said.

The leader of the UCP hopes that there would be a result of the action, and in some time political prisoners would manage to go abroad.
