MP: law against glorification of Nazism may appear 'in near future'

Liliya Ananich / STV​ Ex-Minister of Information, and now an MP of the House of Representatives Lilyia Ananich recently said on the air of ONT that «process of active development» for the adoption of a legislative act on the inadmissibility of glorification of Nazism is currently underway. «Perhaps by the spring session we will have a comprehensive document, although it may appear in parliament in the near future,» the MP said.

Usually the spring session in the Belarusian parliament opens on April 2. The authorities' desire to pass the law earlier can be explained simply: on March 25, the Belarusian opposition traditionally celebrates Freedom Day, the anniversary of the proclamation of the Belarusian People's Republic.
