Appeal of Human Rights Center "Viasna"

17.09.2003.

Dear Friends!

One of the largest and the most influential human rights organizations of Belarus, the Public association “Human Rights Center “Viasna”, is being liquidated. Members of the “Human Rights Center “Viasna” apply to you, asking to take part in the defense of the organization and send letters to President of the Republic of Belarus, Minister of Justice of the Republic of Belarus, head of the Chamber of Representatives of the National Assembly of the Republic of Belarus in order to facilitate the revocation of the suit for liquidation of the association. We also ask you to apply to head of the Supreme Court with the appeal not to decide for liquidation of the human rights organization due to the fact that the arguments of the suit of the Ministry of Justice are lame and biased.

We will be very grateful for every sign of support and solidarity. Please, send letters to the addresses below and their copies – to “Viasna”, either by E-mail: Viasna@spring.96.org or telephone/fax: +375 17 231 08 44
