The HRC stood up for the Russian human rights activist sent from Belarus

The head of the Presidential Council for the Development of Civil Society and Human Rights, Mikhail Fedotov, appealed to the Russian Foreign Ministry with a request to help human rights activist Elena Toncacheva, who is threatened with expulsion from the Republic of Belarus, Interfax reports. In Belarus, Toncachev has been constantly living for more than ten years.

On Thursday, Toncacheva was canceled by residence permit, motivating this decision by the fact that she committed administrative offenses, without observing the rules of the road - exceeded the speed on the roads.

In the HRC, they insist that its human rights activity is the real motive of expulsion.

"The authorities did not stop that in Belarus, Elena has a family, work, an apartment, personal and professional ties, nor that our countries form a union state, and citizens of our countries enjoy equal rights," noted in the Special Revolutionary.

The decision on the expulsion procedure will be considered on November 5.

Toncacheva provided legal assistance to detainees and arrested in administrative and criminal cases, initiated against the manifestants, dissatisfied with the results of the presidential election in December 2010. Recently, the human rights activist has dealt with the problems of accessing citizens to the information of state bodies.
