Prosecutors' Day in Belarus
June 26 · Level 5 · #1334 of 2238
Belarus honours employees of its prosecution service and recognises their work overseeing compliance with the law and protecting citizens' rights. The occasion also highlights the professional knowledge passed between generations of staff.
How it is celebrated: formal gatherings feature awards, congratulations and meetings with retired colleagues. Staff reflect on the service's history and recognise professional achievements.
The date recalls the establishment of the prosecution service in Soviet Belarus in 1922. Its historical roots therefore reach back well before the creation of today's independent republic.
