“Narodnaya Volya” Not Accredited For Press Conference of Prosecutor General 13:34, 22/06/2005
Today’s issue of the “Narodnaya Volya” informs its readers about violations of the rights of its journalists. Reporters of the newspaper were not granted accreditation at the press conference of the prosecutor general of Belarus Pyotr Miklashevich, scheduled for June 23.
The official reason for denial is absence of space in the hall, where Mr.Miklashevich would meet representatives of the media. The newspaper doubts this version and notes that a press conference is an open event. According to the “Narodnaya Volya”, out of the three last prosecutors general only Aleh Bazhelka held press conferences regularly. As for Viktar Shejman, who heads the presidential administration now, he has not held any press conferences, despite of the fact that journalists have lots of questions to him.
