Due to the expected protest action, military equipment and minibuses with security forces are being brought to Minsk. Tut.by reports on this on Sunday, October 25.

“Since the morning in Minsk, military teams and minibuses with security forces have been seen in various parts of the city. A fence has been erected in the Independence Square and near the Museum of the Great Patriotic War. In some districts they are forming chains of solidarity “, it was reported.

A photo and video from the Belarusian capital show that “buses and trucks, often carried by riot police and strangers wearing ski masks,” travel through different parts of the city.

At the same time, protesters are forming “solidarity chains” on the streets of Minsk. Before the city had problems with mobile internet, 12 metro stations were closed at the entrance and exit.

Earlier, the opposition Svetlana Tikhanovskaya announced October 25 as the day of the “Ultimatum of the People”, calling on Alexander Lukashenko for a peaceful transfer of power, otherwise the protesters would declare a national strike.

Let us remind you that former opponents of Lukashenka were arrested in Belarus. On the eve of the women’s march that ended in Minsk at 2:00 p.m., a column of girls with flags and white-red-white umbrellas marched towards Simón Bolívar Square.

It was also reported that student protests took place in Belarus. The police officers observed the actions of the Belarusian students. BNTU students and teachers recorded a video message.
