Belarusian Interior Ministry is ready to use military weapons against protesters
The country’s Interior Ministry has warned that they intend to use special equipment and military weapons against the protesters.
Law enforcement officials are willing to use military weapons to maintain order in Minsk. This was stated by the First Deputy Minister of Internal Affairs of Belarus, Gennady Kazakevich, in a video message published on Monday, October 12.
“The protests, which have mainly moved to Minsk, have been organized and extremely radical. In this regard, employees of internal affairs organs and the military of internal troops will not leave the streets and, if necessary, will use equipment special and military weapons, “said Kazakevich.
According to him, the department observes “a gradual fading of the protest movement both in the territory and en masse.” However, the protests in Minsk, according to the Interior Ministry, were radicalized.
“Proof of this are the actions in the capital last Sunday: even in the afternoon and at night there were flying stones, bottles, knives and sharpeners, and at dusk, barricades and burning tires. It has nothing to do with a civil protest, “added the first deputy minister. …
According to him, they are trying to plunge Belarus into the chaos of the 1990s, to force the republics that have survived the color revolutions to follow the sad path.
Let us remind you that more than 700 protesters were arrested in Belarus the day before. In total, some 11,000 people participated in the actions, according to data from security officials.
Let us remind you that on October 11 in Minsk, the security forces violently dispersed a protest against the Alexander Lukashenko regime, using noise grenades, water cannons and brute force.
The protests have been going on in Belarus for almost two months, erupting after the announcement of the winner of the presidential election, Alexander Lukashenko, who has ruled the country for more than 26 years.
