Youth leader Pavel Sevyarinets is not allowed to leave Belarus. At the department for citizenship and migration of the Vitebsk Pervomaysky district Pavel Sevyarinets was refused of the exit permit. ”The department staff members advised him to apply for the permit after 15 August. That day is a deadline of my liberty restriction which I was sentenced to. Though under conditional ahead-of- scale release a person must not be restricted of travelling. Simply I had to give a written promise of not leaving the country for more than a month”, Pavel Sevyarinets reported to the Charter ’97 press-center.
