May 24, Pozirk<\/em>.<\/strong> Alaksandar Azara\u016d’s coalition Law and Order has been disqualified from the upcoming Coordination Council election, the council said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The move comes two days after Azara\u016d used the database of the opposition\u2019s clandestine Pieramoha Plan to mail out messages urging Belarusians to participate in the election and vote for his coalition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Belarusian law enforcers claimed they arrested several people after finding the message on their phones. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The team of activists in charge of the Coordination Council election said Azara\u016d\u2019s actions endangered Belarusians and violated their rights to receive information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Three of six election commission members, including Chairwoman Alena Prychod\u017aka whose vote was decisive, supported the disqualification.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The team also disqualified Viktar Saskievi\u010d and Andrej \u017duka\u016d, running from the Na\u0161a Sprava coalition, over a gender quota breach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Coordination Council election starts tomorrow and will last until the end of the day on May 27. Its new members are expected to convene on June 15.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Authorities in Minsk have designated all candidates running in the election as extremists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
