Kravall police have surrounded the Swedish embassy in Minsk.
The reason is that two Belarusians who participated in the protests against Alexander Lukashenko fled from the police to the embassy.
“We can confirm that two people are in the parking lot outside the embassy area,” writes the press service of the Chancellery.

Today’s protests against President Lukashenko in Belarus have led to two citizens of the country now in the parking lot in front of the Swedish embassy, seeking asylum.
Belarusian riot police are near the scene and want the people to be extradited.
“People have spoken to an embassy employee who stated that they are now seeking asylum in Sweden,” says the Foreign Ministry.
