Minsk resident beaten to death in “Peremen Square”

The Minsk resident, transferred to the hospital from the Central District Department of Internal Affairs, died without regaining consciousness. He was diagnosed with a severe traumatic brain injury.

A Minsk resident, Roman Bondarenko, who was beaten by strangers wearing masks in the “Square of Changes” the day before, died in intensive care. The 31-year-old never regained consciousness. He was taken to the emergency hospital of the Department of Internal Affairs of the Central District of Minsk, writes TUT.BY.

Bondarenko was transferred to a medical facility with severe brain swelling, closed head trauma, subdural hematomas, bruises and abrasions. He was admitted to the hospital with the wording that “he was injured during a fight.”

The operation lasted several hours.

Sister Roman Bondarenko Olga said his mother managed to see him in intensive care. He was “in a coma, connected to different machines, all with bandages and bruises.”

“According to the latest information, Roman got worse, his temperature rose to 40. Someone came to the hospital and confiscated his brother’s personal belongings,” Olga told the publication.

Later it was learned that Roman had died.

It is known that Bondarenko was beaten in the “Square of Change” in Minsk. This is how local residents call the courtyard of the capital on the Smorgovsky stretch – Chervyakov because of the white, red and white ribbons on the fence with the colors of the national flag and a special mural on the transformer box.

Eyewitnesses said that on Wednesday, November 11, people in masks and plain clothes began to remove the tapes.

“There was a kind of verbal skirmish between the man in the mask and the unknown guy, Roma did not participate, he stood nearby and listened. Then he said something, and the man in the mask asked: ‘Why are you a greyhound? “Closer to the mural, he tried to avoid it, but a stranger grabbed him and threw him with all his might to the hill of the site. He hit his head hard,” said an eyewitness to the incident.

Then they took Bondarekno away in a minibus. And then they took him to the hospital from the police station.

This is what is happening in the Plaza del Cambio.

It should be remembered that the protests began in Belarus after the presidential elections; the country’s Central Election Commission claimed that Alexander Lukashenko had won them. The opposition does not agree with this. On the second day after the elections, Alexander Taraikovsky, 34, died in the capital. The security forces claimed that a grenade had exploded in his hands. However, images of the moment of the activist’s death appeared on the network.
