Friday’s protest was less numerous than the previous ones
With reference to eyewitnesses, the solitary detention of activists is reported in all central districts of the city, where the demonstrations took place.
Belarusian activists arrived at the central square of Minsk on Friday night, August 28, and formed a chain of solidarity. This was reported by the Belarusian opposition Tut edition.
After some time, the square was surrounded by riot police, who did not respond to the activists’ requests to leave.
The security forces kept repeating over the loudspeaker: “Do not provoke active actions, do not force the use of physical force and special means.”
Later, the security forces still allowed the girls to leave the Plaza de la Independencia. The participants waved their hands and bouquets of flowers towards the riot police, shouting “Long live Belarus!”
With reference to eyewitnesses, the solitary detention of activists is reported in all central districts of the city, where the demonstrations took place.
At the Minsk hotel, security agents detained several journalists, allegedly to check documents.
Let us remind you that the European Union is putting together a sanctions list for Belarusian officials and plans to expand it in case the authorities put more pressure on “civil society”.
It should be noted that in recent days the actions of Lukashenka’s opponents have become much less numerous, but they have not stopped.
At the same time, arrests have become more frequent. During the last day, some 270 people were arrested, including 50 journalists.
