6 April Aleg Volchak, head of the legal service of former candidate to the presidency of Belarus, political prisoner Alyaksandr Kazulin, and the policymaker’s daughter Yulia Kazulina lodged the claim in the name of the Minsk public prosecutor Mikalai Kulik. Aleg Volchak and Yulia Kazulina demand annulling of the decision of the public prosecutor’s office of the Moskovsky district of Minsk dated 25 April 2006 on refusal of bringing the criminal lawsuit against the “Almaz” special regiment staff who bit Alyakandr Kazulin 2 March 2006 when he attempted to attend the so-called Pan-Belarusian Meeting summoned by Alyaksandr Lukashenka.

It is to be mentioned that 2 March 2006 at 9 a.m. candidate to the presidency of Belarus Kazulin accompanied by his proxies arrived to the Palace of Culture and Sports of the Railway Workers to register his participation in the Third Pan-Belarusian Meeting. But neither he nor his proxies managed to register because they were attacked by the guard in the uniform and civil attire. Alyaksandr Kazulin was bitten personally by the commander of the special regiment of the internal forces Zmitser Paulichenka suspected by the world public in kidnapping and killing of the leaders of the Belarusian opposition and the journalist.

The complete text of the claim can be found at the site of Alyaksandr Kazulin.
