New protest action in Belarus confused security officials
Participants of the Neighbors’ March protest in Belarus confused the security forces: people took to the streets of different districts of Minsk, and law enforcement officers do not know where and who to detain. Olga Tokarchuk, a participant of the action, announced this on the air of Dozhd.
She compared what was happening in the country on Sunday, November 29, with the game “Cossacks-robbers”. “The robbers in minibuses are running after us, and we chase each other. In fact, all the districts came out, a lot of people came out, a lot. Well, they [security officials] do not know where to go and where to grab or detain someone. So, people are positive today ”, – said the girl.
According to her, the inhabitants of Minsk are well oriented in their districts and know where to hide. “And when we have several such columns, they [the security officials] really do not understand where to go, to which yard. I suppose that the technology is particularly lacking, ”Tokarczuk explained.
According to the human rights center “Viasna”, by 18:00, 188 people were detained in Belarus. These are residents of Minsk, Brest, Vitebsk, Grodno and other cities of the country.
Protests in Belarus began in August, after the announcement of the results of the presidential elections, which were declared the winner of Alexander Lukashenko. The protesters demand the resignation of the head of state, new elections, as well as an end to violence by the security forces and the prosecution of those who brutally dispersed the first protests and tortured the detainees.
