BELARUSIAN OPPOSITION SETS UP OFFICE OF PUBLIC PROSECUTOR IN GERMANY



Lyudmila Karpenka, the widow of Belarusian opposition politician Henadz Karpenka, and several former and current Belarusian legislators have set up a so-called Office of the Public Prosecutor for Belarus in Esslingen, Germany, BelaPAN reported on 1 July, citing a Minsk representative. The main goals of the office ? which is not sanctioned by the Belarusian state ? include scrutinizing Belarus' electoral laws and legal issues connected with the 1996 referendum that gave President Lukashenka extensive powers, as well as probes into disappearances of politicians and prominent Belarusians. The office hopes to collect evidence of authorities' misconduct and file cases to international judicial instances.
