Belarus: Threat to Close Lone Human Rights Group 02/02/2007 - 04:34 / BBSNews HRW via BBSNews - Moscow, February 1, 2007 -- The Belarusian authorities should immediately reverse a decision to evict the Belarusian Helsinki Committee (BHC) from its office and instead extend its lease for another year, Human Rights Watch said today. The government has arbitrarily cancelled the organization’s lease, interfering with its work and trying to force its closure. The committee’s head is expected to make a fresh plea for a lease extension in a meeting with the Presidential Administration today.
