Summary/Abstract: This document presents the results of the analysis of the manifestations of the ban on the profession in modern Belarus. Manifestations of the ban on the profession include cases of creating any kind of obstacles in the implementation of professional activities, which are not related to violations of labor legislation or insufficient qualifications, but act as persecution for ideological and political motives or opposition to the social activity of employees. The analysis was carried out on the basis of monitoring facts of persecution in professional activities, presented in open sources: in media materials; in the monitoring of human rights violations of the Viasna Human Rights Center (from 1998 to the end of 2011); in the monitoring of violations of journalistic activity by the Public Organization "Belarusian Association of Journalists".
