"Extremist" photos trial to be open
The judge has taken this decision.
"The judge has announced that he declines the
appeal of the KGB representative to make the trial closed. The trial will be
open. However, the journalists have already left. Lawyer Harry Pahanyayla and
BAJ representative Andrei Bastunets are the only people who stayed", - Euroradio correspondent Ales Piletski
reports on-the-spot.
Vadzim Zamirouski's lawyer of defence appeals to terminate the case. According
to her, the conclusion of the KGB expert commission was executed with violation
of some necessary procedures.
Euroradio reminds, the KGB spotted extremism in the photo art works, published
in the album "Belarus Press Photo 2011". Several dozen copies of this
album were arrested at the Ashmyany border crossing point last autumn.
