We recall that today the cities of Belarus held protest actions against the regime of the unrecognized president Alexander Lukashenko. The protest actions were accompanied by violent dispersions and arrests.
As RBC-Ukraine wrote, in Minsk the security forces used weapons during the dispersal of the protesters. Security forces fired into the air to scare off the protesters.
In addition, this week Lukashenka threatened protesters that “they will not take anyone prisoner.”
