Opposition Party of Communists of Belarus resumes activity
MINSK, February 1 (Itar-Tass) - The opposition Party of Communists of Belarus (PCB) has resumed its activity in full in the country after a six-month break.
As the PCB press service reported on Monday, the first major event of the party after a temporary suspension of its activity was a plenary meting of the Central Committee held on February 3. The plenary meeting defined the tasks for the near future.
One of the most important directions of the party's work, in particular, will be the preparation for the elections of deputies to the lower chamber of the Belarussian parliament scheduled for autumn 2008. The PCB also intends to actively take advantage of the difficult socio-political and economic situation developing in the country to strengthen left-wing aspirations and views in society and increase its ranks.
The PCB activity was suspended on August 2, 2007 for six months in accordance with a decision of the Supreme Court of the country. The Supreme Curt and the Ministry of Justice of Belarus discovered a number of serious violations of legislation in the activity of opposition communists.
According to the party leadership, now "all remarks, which served as a formal basis for suspending the PCB activity, have been completely removed."
