Supreme Court postpones hearing on closure of Belarusian Association of Journalists

On July 15, the day after the office search, the Belaru­sian Asso­ci­a­tion of Jour­nal­ists received a warn­ing from the Min­istry of Jus­tice. BAJ strong­ly dis­agrees with the warn­ing, and appealed it to the Supreme Court.

The appeal against the warn­ing will be heard by the Supreme Court on August 23. On August 27 the court will return to the Min­istry’s law­suit to liq­ui­date the orga­ni­za­tion.

The Belaru­sian Asso­ci­a­tion of Jour­nal­ists thanks all col­leagues for sol­i­dar­i­ty and sup­port!
