BPF member fined for calling official ‘terrorist’
Leanid Autuhou wrote it in the District Executive Committee book of complaints.
Haradok District Court (Vitsebsk Province) has fined BPF activist Leanid Autohou. The case was started against him when he was removed from the list of the unemployed in an employment centre. The activist thinks that it was done illegally. Autuhou wrote a complaint in the complaint book of the District Executive Committee. He called the head of the employment and social protection department Pyatro Prasolau ‘a terrorist from Lugansk and Donetsk’. Prasolau considered it an insult and complained to the police.
Judge Alyaksandra Nosava returned the activist guilty of violating the administrative article ‘insult of an official at work’. She fined Autuhou for Br5 million 400 thousand, Radio Liberty reports.
By the way, Leanid Autuhou lost his steady job in 2008 – he was sacked after the parliamentary election (he tried running for MP back then). He has not been able to find a job since then and even the regional employment centre has failed to help him. The activist has tried getting a job more than 50 times but has not succeeded yet.
