Homel resident sues state fover freeloader’s tax, gets exempt from it

Even the judge seemed surprised at the big number of people willing to attend the hearing. He did not forbid making videos in the court room at first. Only the police managed to close the court room door. Rebellious ‘freeloaders’ were going wild behind it. “Go shoot us down!” they shouted form behind the closed door.

City Executive Committee officials suddenly informed Alyaksandr Syamonau that he had been exexepmt from the freeloaders’ tax because of ‘life issues’. He asked to be exempt from the tax before going to court but officials would not do it because two people were working in Syamonau’s family, he told Euroradio.
