Lukashenko Defamation Lawsuit Passed Over to Court 11:45, 17/01/2003
On January 16 the Central district procuracy of Minsk passed a final decision on the case of Oksana Novikova, charged with slandering Alexander Lukashenko. Now the case files will be forwarded to the central district court. According to the law, the lady may be fined or sentenced to involuntary social labor.
If you remember, Oksana Novikova distributed on October 25, 2002 in the Oktyabrskaya square of Minsk flyers, which resembled police messages “wanted”. Lukashenko’s portrait was followed by a list of crimes, which he had allegedly committed, according to the authors of the tract. Oksana was detained and held for two days in pre-trial detention, despite the fact that she has a little daughter at home.
