Barysau Roman Catholic priest ousted from Belarus for “civil activities”

A Roman Catholic priest from Virgin Maria Birth Church Zbіhneu Hryhartsevіch will have to leave his congregation by the end of the year. He has not been allowed to stay in Belarus next year. According to “Electronic Barysau” website, the priest was implied that the reason for the refusal was his excessive civil activity. In the priest’s opinion, the situation connected with the concert of Christian music in the town in September was decisive. The District Executive Committee allowed it at first and then the event was forbidden right before it had to start.
 
Zbіhneu Hryhartsevіch arrived in Barysau in 2006. He replaced Robert Kshyvitski who was not allowed to continue working in our country either.
