Journalist Nikolai Markevich Employed as Expeditor 12:19, 11/03/2003
Following his comeback to Grodno from the open-type penitentiary institution in Osipovichi (Mogilev region) the convicted journalist Nikolai Markevich was employed as an expeditor. Editor of the closed newspaper “Pagonya” now works in the firm “Verasen” and will deal with the expedition of cargo in Belarus. This kind of job will enable him, says Markevich, to “dedicate myself to the full to the journalism and public activities”.
“Hopefully, police will not object to that and, despite the ban to leave the country, will let me earn money in this very way,” – BelaPAN quotes Markevich as saying. Under the court’s ruling, which replaced “corrective labor” by a milder sentence, the convicted journalist is obliged to pay off 15% of the earned salary to the state.
