Rabochy Rukh reported that the appeal against the case of the workers' organisation, which is trying to oppose Lukashenka's dictatorship in Belarus with the help of the strike movement, will be heard soon.
Consideration of the appeal will be held on 28 July at the Supreme Court. Judge Uladzimir Davydau will make a decision.
