„ They dragged me to the bus, beat me and threw me on the pile of the beaten. I crawled on them like a bug." Belarus is fighting for freedom”
„ You could say that I was lucky. My cellmates cut their hair with a knife eat it and forced them to sing "I love OMON!" They recorded it. When he refused, they beat him.
„ Minsk - the city of the hero" reads a huge inscription on the roof of the building, almost opposite the monument "Mother of the Fatherland" and the museum park complex Victory. Years ago, the capital of Belarus, like twelve other Soviet cities, was given the title of heroic struggle during the Second World War. It is here that every year celebrations and parades are held on the occasion of the Independence Day of Belarus and Victory Day, and people lay flowers.
There are no flowers there today. The bouquets lie on the cobblestones, where you can see traces of explosions of bangs and dried blood.
At least one parent
In this historic place on August 9, after the announcement of the preliminary election results, which allegedly gave Alexander Lukashenka 80 percent. votes, the first mass protest took place, brutally pacified by Belarusian siloviki. He initiated a series of brutal violence by officers trying to intimidate Belarusians.
Jelena and Alexei are both forty-six years old. I meet them at Pushkinskaya metro station the day after the most brutal anti-government protest. In an almost empty street, in the place where the day before the OMONs were firing pellets, rubber bullets, throwing explosive grenades and spraying gas, there are no more visible traces of the fight. They came to light a candle, they are shaken.
Jelena: - We are afraid for our children, we do not let them leave the house, even though they are close. We go out alone, because we feel that it is our duty, but we do not stick together, only in sight. We don't want our girls to be left alone just in case. They must have at least one parent.
According to official data, four people died during the protests. The Russian independent television station Dozhd has managed to establish that it is at least forty. Andrej Stryżak, a human rights defender from the independent organization Wiesna, does not believe these numbers.
- We have the right to say that the number is at least a dozen or so times underestimated. The whereabouts of the eighty-one people who disappeared during the protests are still unknown. We are concerned that he has died. We are in the process of confirming information on over thirty deaths in one of Minsk hospitals.

How the protesters in Minsk died. The new recording contradicts the version of the Belarusian services
The first fatality confirmed by the authorities is Aleksandr Tarajkowski. He was thirty-four. According to a statement by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, he died in the explosion of a Molotov cocktail, which he intended to throw at the officers. This version was later refuted by the Associated Press editorial. In the short video you can see that the man is standing in shorts and a white T-shirt, empty-handed, facing the siloviki firing the shots. The man falls. The day after his funeral, in which, according to unofficial data, five thousand Belarusians participated, the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Belarus, Yury Karayev, said: -
2020-08-26 at 9:33 PM UTC"It is possible that he was shot at with a non-lethal weapon." I don't know. I'm not an investigator. I know he died. But how many people died in the riots in America?
Tarajkowski's wife learned about her husband's death from the media:
- All this time I was looking for him in hospitals and arrests. I knew that he was going to Puszkińska and that he was only taking the phone with him. I couldn't believe ... Sasha wouldn't have thrown a bomb at siloviki, and he didn't have a gun anyway. He was always for justice, he could not accept the fact that in our country detentions of citizens by the police resemble kidnappings. It outraged him greatly. -

„A chain of women stood in minsk holding ones' hands. they say they are not afraid anymore. they were afraid for their kids and husbands who were beaten but now they are not afraid anymore.” -

2020-08-26 at 10:49 PM UTCGood, hope they rape him with a bayonet like they did to ghadaffi. This guy tortures protesters and journalists alike. Absurd that a European country still has a government like this.

2020-08-26 at 11:21 PM UTCThe BBC - state run media mouthpiece of a country where you get arrested for telling a joke and they cover up child rape rings - is accusing Belarus of tyranny and barbarism.
As for Belarus - idk. Maybe it is time for the ol president to go. But I do hope they don't become another western puppet.The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -

It has.
Imagine setting yourself aligned with England and America, ready to be raped by Russia and Germany simultaneously.
That's Poland.
And of course the Anglos used the invasion of Poland - by both Germany and Russia at the same time - to declare war on Germany, but not Russia.
And the Russians ruled Poland for the next 60 years.
That's the very definition of getting played.The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire!
