On February, 17th, Belarusian LGBT activist Roman Mandrykin filed a complaint in the Court of the Central Borough of Gomel in response to the decision of the Gomel City Administration to deny his request to hold a peaceful gathering. The event, entitled “The Right To Love” was planned for February 12th and was designed to raise public awareness about homophobia and discrimination against LGBT people in Belarus. In the text of the complaint, Mr. Mandrykin claims that the decision of the Gomel City Administration violated his right to the Freedom of Assembly, as guaranteed by Article 35 of the Constitution of Belarus. He maintains that the local regulation, Regulation 299, is itself unconstitutional in that it imposes unreasonable burdens on those seeking to organize public gatherings.
Background
On January 10th, Belarusian LGBT activists Viachaslau Bortnik, Olga Dimitryuk and Roman Mandrykin applied for permission to organize a public gathering in Gomel focused on the treatment of LGBT people in Belarus. The event was to take place in the city’s Central Square and was to include the distribution of educational materials on the subjects of homophobia and discrimination. As part of the application, the organizers agreed to be responsible for public order and safety, to ensure onsite access to medical services and to clean the area after the event. After the submission of this request, Roman Mandrykin was pressured to remove his name from the application by the administration of his school, Gomel State University. Mandrykin refused to remove his name from the application.
The organizers see this denial of permission as part of a pattern of infringement on the rights to assembly and they are concerned that homophobia may be a significant factor in the refusals. A similar application was submitted to the authorities in Minsk and this permission was also denied.
The organizers intend to pursue this claim until it is resolved and hope to be able to organize a gathering next year. "It was important for us to get an official decision of the authorities to understand the current attitude towards LGBT rights Some are calling this time period "Belarusian Warming” under the belief that the government is becoming more open to individual rights but these decisions don’t support that belief. From the very beginning we did not have much hope to receive a positive answer but the decisions of the Gomel and Minsk City Administrations proved that it is too early to talk about any kind of democratization in the country” said Viachaslau Bortnik.
