#belarusprotest

Police is using medical cars to catch people and beat them

They're literally drive into the crowds to hurt and kill people who are protesting

They beat up random people who are not even participating in demonstrations

They use some kind of grenades to threaten people

Please

Do not stay ignorant. Spread the information

P.S. there is a new account where you can find information and photos/videos from Belarus

LET'S SUPPORT BELARUS ‼️

ESPECIALLY ON TWITTER 🐦

There were a lot of people with white-red-white flag and "Chase" (Pogonya/Погоня) emblem, flowers (the most of them were white and red), children and their pets. Drivers were supporting us with car horn, gave us water, food, sweets and flowers. Even! a !little! boy gave us some water!

The Solidarity's Chain protests have started after Viktor Babariko's arrest. But after August 8th Belarusian forgot about this type of protest.

The Chain was "reborn" after third night of police brutality in our country. Women came out in the one of the most popular place of Minsk in white dresses with flowers. They were protesting against police violence and brutality. After that since August 12th everyone standing in their districts near road in the Solidarity's Chain protesting against violence, brutality and dictatorship.

EDIT: Svetlana Tikhanovskaya, the actual candidate running against Lukashanko recorded a message after being forced to leave the country for Lithuania. It’s not difficult to see what she was threatened with (translated transcript):

ROUGH TRANSLATION OF RUSSIAN DESCIPTION: “We have all got used to the elections in Belarus being a time of oppression, but this time mass prosecution of candidates, bloggers, civilian activits and regular people started way before the voting date. Hundreds of fines, tens of arrests. Behind the bar are such people as Sergey Tikhanovsky [opposition activist], Viktor and Eduard Babariko [former presidential candidate and sin son], Igor Losik [activist] and many other people who are now being pursued by authorities. They aren’t only the people who participated in the presidential race, but also those who collected signatures or just stood in a line to the shop, selling national symbols. Paying the fines, compensating the lawyers and overall helping them in prison can badly hurt many family budgets.

The BY_Help Team asks you to support everyone who is being oppressed through this fundraiser. All the collected money will be used on fines, paying the legal attorneys and supporting the families of the affected. All money will be spent in agreement with human rights organisations.”

STAND WITH THE PEOPLE OF BELARUS IN THESE DARK TIMES, THEY’RE TIRED OF THEIR DICTATORSHIP AND THEY NEED INTERNATIONAL HELP. THE NATIONS OF CIS ARE ALREADY ELEVATING THEIR VOICES, BUT THIS IS NOT NEARLY ENOUGH.

sorry for mistakes and my English

Today in Belarus was a big peaceful protest in Minsk. All this protest had started in the center of the capital - near Stella.

That is the beginning of the protest (we've came a bit early but look at the number!). There was no brutality, violence or just a provocation from Belarusians. There were only slogans and clapping. If anybody wanna went near to Stella - there were waiting for the green color on traffic lights. Also, drivers, volunteers and just ordinary citizens gave us water 'cause of the hot weather.

As you see - there were NOBODY on the road, who had blocked the traffic. After some hours people have started to go to Independence Avenue (проспект Независимости). If anybody saw an ambulance - people had started slogan "Ambulance", "Corridor for ambulance", etc.

Thanks for that we've helped one drunker man who have smashed his head on the rung of the stairs (spoiler: he is fine) and the ambulance took him.

Near Government House (Дом правительства) were airborne soldiers who kept order and if it would be necessary - stop provocation.
