Another Belarusian NGO Threatened with Liquidiation The Belarusian Review, May 5, 2003 A Journal for Western Man-- Issue XXVIII-- December 15, 2004 |

Civic Initiatives,
a leading nongovernmental organization (NGO) in Homel Oblast, has come
under threat of closure, BelaPAN reported on 5 May, quoting Civic
Initiatives leader Viktar Karnyayenka. Civic Initiatives was
informed last week by the Homel Oblast Executive Committee of the results
of a recent inspection. The correspondence says Civic Initiatives "is
subject to judicial liquidation." According to state inspectors, the
organization used incorrect letterheads and violated internal procedure by
admitting new members and nominating observers to local-election
commissions at the same board meetings. "These allegations are just
ridiculous and are not substantiated with any material evidence,"
Karnyayenka said. "This is the Belarusian authorities' insolent response
to the 17 April UN resolution on human rights violations in Belarus". Last
month, the Justice Ministry filed lawsuits aimed at banning three
prominent NGOs in Belarus. This article was originally featured in the Belarusian Review Vol. 15 (No. 2), but is no longer accessible on the website of said organization. It has accordingly been salvaged and again made available to the public by The Rational Argumentator.
