Trial Over Lukashenko Will Be Broadcast By Independent TV Channel :: Charter'97 :: News

On the word of the famous director of the documentaries, Yuri Khaschevatsky, in case of the victory of the democratic coalition in the presidential elections there is a chance of quick formation of the independent and influential Belarusian TV channel.

On August 13, at the press-conference dedicated to the Festival of the documentary films in Belarus “United World”, he emphasized that “rating of the independent TV channel could be risen immediately”. As stated by the film director, it would be possible without considerable money investment. “I estimated that the court would last a year (the possible trial court against the present authorities - BelaPAN) and the independent public television would have an exclusive right for broadcasting this event.” To his mind, this channel could gain enormous popularity in the country.

Touching upon the video taping of the facts connected with the violations of human rights in Belarus, Khaschevatsky notified that a public archive of the documentary video materials is created and constantly updated in the country. The director, who created a film “An ordinary President” in 1996, expressed his hope that “the end of this story under the title “The end of the “President” operation” will be filmed in the nearest month”.
