Know-how of the fraud.

To the Central commission of the Republic of Belarus on the election and realisation of referendums.

About the admission of the election of the deputies of the National

 

Assembly from October 15, 2000 invalid.

 

October 15, 2000 in the Republic of Belarus the elections of the deputies of the National Assembly of the Republic of Belarus were held.

 

The elections were marked by mass breaches of the law.

 

When the electoral commissions were formed, candidates in the deputy were promoted, the propaganda of the voters was realised, preliminary voting and the voting was realised I, Valery Stanislavovich Levonevsky, and other spectators fixed the breaches of the Elective Code on the basis of which elections both in constituency #53 and in the Republic can be considered invalid and conducted with the roughest breaches of the current legislation.

 

All district commissions, including 53, are created with the breaches of the current legislation. In commissions the people dependent on bodies of the state power on the post or on the official position are basically included. The way of promoting of some candidates into the district electoral commissions «from the voters» when signatures are collection of is applied, from our point of view, to mislead the Belorussian and foreign public, to create visibility of the creation of commissions in a democratic way and to veil service and other dependence from the bodies of state power and control.

 

In district commissions there were practically all those people who were and earlier in the same commissions and show loyalty to the present authority.

 

The representatives of the democratically adjusted public including those who have submitted the documents from the voters in were not included in the commissions to the formal and far-fetched attributes. Why were not they included into the structure of commission, the answers is still not got though more than two months from the moment of submission of their applications to join them the district electoral commissions have already passed.

 

The process of creation of districts commissions breaking article 13 of the Elective Code, was conducted in a deep secret. They did not inform about the place and time when the meeting of the body which forms the district commissions was going to be realised, people who have submitted the application to join these commissions were not invited.

 

Practically all local commissions were formed on the attributes of subordination and dependence on their bodies of the state power and control. Predominantly, all local commissions consist of people directly dependent on the chairman of the commission on the service. The scheme of formation of commissions is so: the chairman of local commission – a head of an organisation (school, state enterprise, educational institution etc.), 70 % of members of commission are the workers of this organisation directly dependent on this head (look applied acts and applications). The chairman of a commission depends directly on the bodies of the state power and control or is appointed to the post on the main place of work at direct participation of the bodies of state power and control.

 

80 % of members of local electoral commissions, as a rule, also depend directly or indirectly on the bodies of the state power and control. Therefore practically all solutions of electoral commissions, even wrongful, are received solidly without owing arguing. The main thing is that these proposals were originated by the executive authority.

 

In the case when own judgement is expressed a member of an electoral commission can be dismissed from a place of the main work with the help of the bodies of state power and control at any moment to the formal and far-fetched attributes.

 

The course of the electoral company, as a matter of fact, was supervised by the executive bodies. Breaking article 13 of the Elective Code the electoral commissions reported directly to executive committees and executed their requirements.

 

The district electoral commissions created unequal conditions for promotion of the candidates in the deputies. So, for example, district commission #53 to the formal and far-fetched reasons refused in registration to my initiative group. The solution was undone by the Central Commission but some days to collect signatures were lost. The bodies of state power and control created obstacles to my initiative group to collect signatures. The district commission did not react in any way to these facts.

 

I, Valery Stanislavovich Levonevsky was refused in the registration as the candidate in the deputies of the National Assembly by the district commission #53 to the formal and far-fetched attributes. The motive of the refusal: has not specified a wood construction at the dacha in the declaration. The Central commission and the Supreme Court recognised that I should not indicate this consruction and also refused me in registration as in general I should not specify the dacha in the declaration, it is not my property. But the dacha was specified in the declaration by me on the demand of the tax body. To the same formal attributes Alexander Vasiliev, Marina Levonevskaya, Marina Samoil, Vladimir Sovtsa and more than 100 citizens were refused in registration.

 

The fact that candidates in the deputies were refused in registration because of their belonging to parties or public organisations is invalid.

 

Breaking article 45 of the Elective Code Krupitsa, a candidate in the deputy on constituency #53 had hung out the propaganda material everywhere in the district, including the door of the building of the Medical university where district electoral commission #53 was on the following day after the registration him as the candidate. However money to issue propaganda materials was given only in couple of days. The propaganda material of Krupitsa was distributed on mail boxes of the constituency in the quantity, which is in approximately 10 times higher than the circulation indicated in the leaflet. On the back of the promotional material the religious calendars (it is possible to find an example on the polling site #27) were printed.

 

Everywhere outside of places established by the municipal executive committee for putting of propaganda materials (in trolley buses, on houses, shops etc.) the propaganda materials of the candidates in the deputies were put.

 

When the preliminary voting was realised mass breaches of the current legislation were allowed. As a matter of fact, the preliminary voting turned into voting and was realised within 6 days. For example: in the Grodno State Medical University (site #32 district #53) almost half of the voters (950 men) voted preliminarily 14.10.2000.

 

Many voters said that they were forced to poll by blackmail and threats. Specially students, military men, workers of state enterprises and organisations and persons living in hostels were forced to poll. That it is really so the fact that at vote tabulation there was a huge quantity of the spoilt bulletins and bulletins in which all candidates were crossed out confirms. On many sites there were about 1/3of such bulletins. The voters intentionally, in the sign of the protest, spoiled the bulletins for voting or polled against all.

 

The results of preliminary voting everywhere in the Republic of Belarus, from our point of view, should be recognised invalid for following reasons:

 

1.      Taking into account article 53 of the Elective Code a man who has no opportunity to vote 15.10.2000 should address to local electoral commission with the request to vote preliminarily. Without such a request the local commission has no right to permit the voter to poll preliminarily. From the moment of the application of the citizen into an electoral commission about the preliminary voting the law of the Republic of Belarus «About the reference of the citizens» gets its force. According to this law and normative acts adopted in connection with it all oral or written references of the citizens should be registered in the special journal (copy-book).

 

2.      All local electoral commissions breaking articles 53 and 44 of the Elective Code did not clarify reasons on which a man polled preliminarily up to 15.10.2000.

 

Breaking the law of the Republic of Belarus «About the reference of the citizens» and instruction on office-work #13 the oral or written applications of the citizens wishing to vote preliminarily were not registered anywhere though such copy-books for registration of such applications are in all electoral commissions.

 

The notice: the order of registration of the oral or written applications about preliminary voting has not regulated by the Elective Code yet. Article 53 of the Elective Codes foresees the presence of such application from a citizen. According to article 2 of the Elective Code and the law of the Republic of Belarus «About the reference of the citizens» the procedure of submission of the application is stipulated, including an oral one, order of its registration etc. Therefore, the local commission is obliged to register such applications of the citizens in the special journal that is not done on the site.

 

Taking into account the above-stated facts there was no a preliminary voting which was made out according to the current legislation, so the results of it can be used at vote tabulation.

 

The voting at home on many sites was not made out according to the law of the Republic.

 

The essential breach, from our point of view, is the fact that anywhere on sites the requirement of item 2 of the Order of the Central commission of the Republic of Belarus on the elections and realisation of republican referendums from July 13, 2000 “About samples of the electoral commissions and examples of boxes for voting” was not executed at the realisation of the election into the Chamber of Representatives of the National Assembly of the Republic of Belarus.

 

Boxes everyone made independently: who from veneer, who from DVP, who from other materials of woodworking. But there were no any box from wood on sites as this order demands.

Practically all boxes for voting manufactured were done in such a manner that it is possible to open them not breaking the integrity of a seal.

 

The notice: From our point of view, the standard boxes for voting for all republic should be made by the Government in a centralised way having ordered this to any plant.

 

Many boxes for preliminary voting had no metallic lungs as the above mentioned Order emands. For today 99 % of boxes for voting in the Republic of Belarus are manufactured with breaches of the requirements of the current legislation.

 

Following breach on which the elections should be recognised invalid is a universal breach of rights of the spectators. Many local commissions failed to grant the spectators the necessary information for supervision and created conditions at which the supervision was impossible. And on site #37 (school #25) of constituency #53 Oleg Podgaetsky, a spectator, was prohibited to be at school and on the polling site. And, they refused to give the copy of the Solution of local electoral commission. On site #13 of constituency #52 15.10.2000 Levonevskaya and Samoil, spectators were in general prohibited «to fulfil mission of supervision» as was indicated in the solution of local commission.

 

The rule (from our point of view it has not developed up to the end) of article 52 of the Elective Code was broken everywhere. The voters came into the cabin for voting by two, three men, by families and filled the bulletins. The requirements of article 51 of the Elective Code (sites #17 and #31 of district #53) were broken, the boxes for voting were not seen by both spectators and members of the electoral commission.

 

14.10.2000 at 18.00 breaking article 53 of the Elective Code the local commissions #2 and #3 (district #53) were already closed.

 

Breaking article 82 of the Elective Code the district electoral commissions #51, #52, #53 decided that the elections in these districts had taken place.

 

Article 82 foresees the submission of the Petitions about breaking of the current legislation not later than one day after the election.

 

16.10.2000 district commission #51 (Grodno Zanemanskaya) moved in an unknown direction and the Petition could not be submitted. District commission #52 (Grodno Central) at17.50 16.10.2000 refused not only to receive such petition but also to allow us to enter in the room of this commission (through a closed door we heard that there was a celebration). After persisting knockings in a door one of the members of the commission went out roaming and the door was shut closed behind him. He explained that the Petitions were not received by them, the commission finished to work, the protocol was signed and signboard on which was written that the commission worked till 19.00was simply forgotten to remove by them. Then the member of commission explained that he is on duty and in he would not go to reconnaissance with me, then he escaped.

 

The only commission where the Petition and Acts were accepted is commission #53 (Grodno Northern). But a member of the commission who was on the duty explained that the protocol to recognise the elections in the district valid had been already signed and the Petitions are not the subject to considerate. As it is clear from the applied Acts and Applications breaches of the law on polling sites had mass nature.

The Elective Code contradicts to the Constitution of the Republic of Belarus and to common sense. For example, the actual article for today is an article 80 of the Elective Code. It is not a secret that people were forced to participate in the elections. At many sites the voters voted against all candidates in the deputies in the sign of the protest against the arbitrariness of the authorities. At many sites the number of those who voted «against all» exceeded the number “for” the candidate in the deputy at 2-10 times.

 

In many districts the second tour of voting will take place. According to article 80 of the Elective Code if 25 % from a total number voters come to vote it will be enough for the candidate in the deputy to win. Such appearance of the voters will be ensured by the bodies of the local authority and control which one again will bind to poll the employees of militia, students, military men, people who live in hostels etc. - approximately 40 % from a total number of voters. Such voters will come to the polling site to vote or they will have large troubles. Even if all voters vote against all again and for the candidate in the deputy 2-3 men vote, he all the same will become the winner and will be elected as the deputy. Therefore in the second tour not the representatives of the people will win and those people who are liked by the bodies of state power and control.

 

In other words, the Elective Code allows two - three voters to elect the deputy from a site in which live three thousand voters. 70.000 voters live in the site, there are approximately 35 districts for voting. Therefore, 100-500 citizens have a capability to elect the deputy from 70.000 voters which have voted against him (against all).

 

It is necessary only to ensure the appearance of the voters and nobody is interested in their judgement.

 

Taking into account all above-mentioned I ask:

 

To recognise elections on constituency #53 in valid

 

To recognise elections of the deputies in the National Assembly on October 15, 2000 in valid in the Republic of Belarus

 

The appendixes:

 

It is possible to read the Acts and Applications «About breaches of the Elective Code of the Republic of Belarus» in district electoral commissions, in Central commission of the Republic of Belarus on the election and realisation of referendums or in the Internet to the address: < http: // izbiratel.narod.ru/akt53.html >

 

17.10.2000 Valery Levonevsky

 

The letters have been distributed

Two days there was a "battle" between the Grodno militia, chairman of the Grodno regional executive committee on the one hand and the team of Valery Levonevsky from another.

 

2 10 2000 9,8,7 floors of the nine-storeyed administrative building of the Grodno regional executive committee were “taken”, 3.10.2000 – plus three floors. To "subdue" three floors the employees of Leninsky DDIA of Grodno forbade. Not, it is not 1945, and not a taking of Reigstag. Though it all is very similar.

 

The crux of the matter is that Valery Levonevsky has written the letter to the civil officers (< http://levonevski.narod.ru/ot3009.html >). To book the letter it is possible to the address E-mail: levonevski45@freemail.ru (mailto:levonevski45@freemail.ru)).

 

The task was put: to give this letter all employees of the Republic of Belarus.

 

The Grodno judges, prosecutor's office, CSS, many employees of militia and state machinery, tax and other inspections, tax investigations, divisional inspectors and citizens accepted this letter without any objections. And the Grodno regional executive committee has taken a circular defence. Brothers Oleg and Dmitry Podgaetsky, the active workers of the team of Valery Levonevsky were twice arrested attempting to give these letters the employees of the Grodno regional executive committee. The protocols of detentions were not made, but the letters were seized. Oleg Podgaetsky, an active worker of the trade union of the businessmen, a member of the parent’s committee was forced to testify against himself. The representatives of the Grodno branch of the Belorussian Helsinki Committee (GBBHC) interfered. The result: the employees of militia explained to the public prosecutor, the "defence" is taken away, the letters found the targets. It is necessary

 

to "take" three lower floors of the regional executive committee, the task is easily decided as the upper floors are "taken".

 

The guys hope that the other cities of the Republic of Belarus will be "handed" to them without "war".

 

The notice: the regional executive committee was "taken" from the third time. The letter is distributed in all cabinets.

 

And three days in Grodno the arrests of the team of Valery Levonevsky and seizing of the letters addressed to the employees of militia, CSS and “vertical” had been lasted. It is seized more than 200 letters, more than 1000 found their targets.

 

In connection with the fact that dispatch of the letters by envelopes (mail) is expensive and a lot of letters do not reach a target, the solution on delivery of letters by a special messenger was accepted. Oleg and Dmitry Podgaetsky, Irina Chigir and Lilia Avkchimovich, the members of the team of Valery Levonevsky were arrested within one day for some times. Each time the protocol of the detention was not made but all letters were confiscated.

 

Last case of detention was simply funny. 5.10.2000 two young interesting girls, both teachers, Irina Chigir and Lilia Avkchimovich came to the leaders of the Leninsky DDIA of Grodno to give them these letters and …. Were arrested by the employees of militia of this DDIA. They had already been waited and it was clear that the militiamen arrested them against their will most likely on the indication of A. Dubko, the chairman of the Grodno regional executive committee. The girls were released but the letters were confiscated. For what, they did not explained. However, the ordinary militiamen read the letter with huge pleasure. The letters are distributed simply in the street to all militiamen. And what shall we do when we are not allowed to come into the cabinets?

 

6.10.2000 the brothers Oleg and Dmitry Podgaetsky were twice arrested for the distribution of the open letters. The detention was made by the employees of Leninsky DDIA of Grodno and Prinemansky site militia of Grodno. All letters are seized.

 

9.10.2000 the head of the department of education of October district of Grodno officially warned teachers Irina Chigir and Lilia Avkhimovich that they will be dismissed from work in case if they continue the propaganda connected with the election in the National assembly.

 

October 10, 2000 approximately at 16.40 at the entrance of the building of the Minsk municipal executive committee Oleg Podgaetsky and Evgeny Klunok, the active workers of the team of Valery Levonevsky were arrested. The arrest was made by the employees of security of the building of the Minsk municipal executive committee. A reason for the arrest - delivery of the open letter of Valery Levonevsky to the employees of this executive committee. To read this the letter is possible at (http://levonevski.narod.ru/ot3009.html). To book the letter is possible at E-mail: levonevski45@freemail.ru (mailto:levonevski45@freemail.ru). One letter is seized. All other letters were already distributed on cabinets. The guys were delivered in Moscow DDIA of Minsks, the protocols were made up and they were released.

 

13.10.2000 in Grodno at Grodno, Stefan Batory street 8-330 (tel. 44-14-33) the one-day hunger-strike of the mothers who have many children in the sign of the protest against an arbitrariness of the municipal authorities, discrimination of the women and mothers of large family take place.

 

The women from the organisation «The Spring of Mercy» and Grodno branch of the Belorussian Organisation of the Working Women took part in the hunger-strike.

 

The purpose of the hunger-strike: to pay attention of the public to the full arbitrariness, callousness and indifference of the municipal authorities concerning the mothers bringing up children.

 

The women will achieve from the municipal executive committee of fulfilment of the promise to grant a room on a hire basis to distribute things to needy people. The things for needy people are delivered by the Grodno businessmen and the Belorussian Trade union of the Businessmen (BTUB). This hunger-strike had also political colouring. Mothers of large families were refused in the registration as candidates in the deputy of the House of Representatives to the far-fetched reasons.
