Dzmitry Zavadski Would Have Turned 34 19:13, 28/08/2006
On August 28 Belarusian journalist Dzmitry Zavadski would turn 34. A cameraman of the ORT channel went missing six years ago, on July 7, 2000. He was seen for the last time in the airport Minsk-2. The journalist arrived there to meet his colleague Paval Sharamet. There is no hope that real culprits of Dzmitry Zavadsky’s abduction would be found under Lukashenka’s regime. The highest leaders of Belarus are suspected by the international community of implication in abductions of the journalist and opposition leaders Viktar Hanchar, Yury Zakharanka and Anatol Krasouski.
The international community is constantly stating that it is necessary to shed light on the fate of the Belarusian journalist and other abducted. The demand to tell truth about the abductions is contained in resolutions of the UN Committee on Human Rights, Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe and OSCE.
A number of Belarusian high-ranking officials, in particular, Interior Minister Uladzimir Navumau, Presidential Administration head Viktar Shejman, former Interior Affairs Ministry Yury Sivakou and SOBR commander Dzmitry Paulichenka are banned entry to the USA and EU countries as they are suspected of being involved in the journalist’s abduction.
The investigation of the case on journalist’s abduction was suspended once again in April this year.
