Belarus six times violated rights of human rights defender Leanid Sudalenka, says UN Human Rights Committee: "The United Nations Human Rights Committee has found that in 2009 Homieĺ officials violated the activist’s rights when banning a picket expected to mark the Human Rights Day on December 10. “I was planning to hold the picket to draw public attention to the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, but the city authorities did not allow it. I used all the domestic remedies, from the District Court to the Supreme Court, but the courts did not wish to protect my rights. Just like the officials, the national judiciary argued that the executive committee legally restricted my rights,” said Leanid Sudalenka.
