The CEC of Belarus called the refusal to register Babariko justified

It is reported by TASS with reference to the appeal.

According to her, the arguments that the presumption of innocence still applies to Babariko are untenable.

“For the principle of the presumption of innocence applies only in criminal law. As for the electoral law, the arguments and grounds for refusing registration are information received from other sources, regardless of the initiation of a criminal case, which indicates that the declaration is unreliable, ”said Yermoshina.

The head of the CEC emphasized that Babariko is recognized as a defendant in several criminal cases related to corruption crimes.

Earlier, the Supreme Court of Belarus did not satisfy the complaint of the headquarters of Babariko about the refusal of the CEC to register him as a candidate for president of the country.

On July 14, the CEC of Belarus registered five candidates for the presidential election, and some, in particular Babariko, refused to register.

In early July, Babariko was charged under three articles of the Criminal Code of Belarus.
