Niakliaeu Promised to Help his Lawyer

Ex-presidential candidate, leader of the civil campaign "Tell the Truth!" Uladzimir Niakliaeu promised to help his lawyer Tamara Sidorenko, deprived of her license. According to him, the actions of the Justice Ministry are a political prosecution, "layman’s revenge to professionals."

"This fragile little woman is hard and tough in the pursuit of truth," said the ex-presidential candidate.

"After the lawyers Daria Lipkina and Anna Bakhtina, defending Nikita Lihavid and Irina Khalip, had been recertified by Justice Department, I figured that the government would stop the persecution of lawyers, performing their professional duties. It turned out - no. It's a kind of revenge for conscience. Despite the fact that the process over our case was purely political, Tamara Sidorenko did not use the political language at meetings - only legal arguments," said the politician.

Meanwhile, Tamara Sidorenko herself declined to comment on this event, as she's unaware of its causes; there's no written confirmation of any deprivation of the license, but "one can assume anything." The lawyer intends to find out the reasons for her license deprivation, as well as to appeal the decision, reports "Salidarnast."
 
"As a lawyer, I am using the facts. At present, there's no document, confirming the termination of the license of Tamara Sidorenko," said the head of the legal profession and licensing of legal activity of the Ministry of Justice, Galina Grishkovets.
 
According to Telegraf, the decision to terminate the lawyer's license was taken by a qualification commission on law of the Ministry of Justice of Belarus on August 16.
 
"August 17, lawyer T. Sidorenko had to pass an extraordinary qualification together with the lawyers for legal advice of Leninski district. However, despite this, without waiting for the results of the Certification Commission, Qualification Commission of the Ministry of Justice has decided to terminate its license," reported in the human rights center "Viasna."
