The first arrests near the Komarovka district are already known.

The arrests began near the Minsk Komarovka Historic District. Law enforcement officers in green uniforms take men and women into accounts without numbers. The remaining people yell “What a shame!”

The opposition forces urged people to attend the rally starting at 6:00 pm with the slogan: “one for all and all for one.” The heart of the demonstrations should be the historic district of the capital of Belarus, Komarovka.

The protest actions are related, among other things, to the arrest and disappearance of associates of the Belarusian opposition leader Svetlana Tikhanovskaya.

In particular, the day before it became known about the arrest of a member of the coordination council of the opposition Maria Kolesnikova. Later, another comrade in arms of Tikhanovskaya, Antonina Konovalova, disappeared and stopped communicating. Her whereabouts are still unknown.

Let us remind you that previously the Secretary General of the Council of Europe, Maria Peichinovich-Burich, expressed her concern about the human rights violations in Belarus.

Furthermore, RBC-Ukraine wrote that Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko will not negotiate with the opposition coordinating council. He believes that his proposals are a disaster for Belarus.
