Independent election observer Mikalai Kazlou exposed a vote fraud – he found out a group of individuals that did not belong to a polling station but still was going to cast their votes there.[/vc_column_text][vc_video link=”https://youtu.be/V-WWlrBZI-c”][/vc_column][/vc_row]Unfortunately, an immediate attempt to identify violators failed, but the observer posted photos and videos of them on the Internet and asked for indifferent people’s help.
As a result, Internet users spotted that it was Mikhail Savitski, head teacher of school Nr 21, who had taken part in the carrousel voting. The women who were accompanying him are teachers. Thus, it turns out that the teaching staff of school Nr 21 in Minsk were involved in the fraud!
Mikalai Kazlou decided to go to school and have a talk to the head teacher. But when Savitski sąw the independent observer, he simply escaped. He also refused to talk to reporters and threatened to call the police.
It is not the first time when Mikalai Kazlou, a former police lieutenant colonel, has faced with the bitter reality of the electoral system in Belarus. During the 2008 parliamentary elections Kazlou exposed the falsification of ballots in the course of early voting. After the incident he lost his job in police and became a civil activist.
