WTF IS GOING ON???

in #politics8 years ago

Hey guys, haven't been here for a while.
I simply had no topic to discuss. But now I do.

Yesterday there was a bunch of protest action in Belarus and a Freedom's day as well. Both actions have never been supported by the government, but yesterday they got me really pissed off.

To begin with, they blocked the actual place of gathering. After that some people decided gather at another spot nearby
and started moving. There were around 500-1000 people. The police blocked them and started arresting the ones who participated in this movement. If not telling the details, it is said that around 700 people were arrested that day.

Simple people, who came to show their protest against the current way of things in Belarus. Peaceful people, who didn't want to act brutally, were brutally arrested.

THEY EVEN ARRESTED ELDERLY PEOPLE!!!

What is more, the guys from  the Human Rights Center "Viasna" had been arrested earlier that day and...and...it really scares me.

Everything needs to be changed and I hope that it will soon.

If you are interested in what happened yesterday,commend below and I'll give you some links on YouTube and our local websites.

P.S. Today was an action of support to the ones arrested yesterday, and our brave police was also arresting people.

P.P.S. What's the situation like in your countries?

Sort:  

Someone dared to oppose "the father" and was punished? Nothing amazing, just a dictator trying to retain power. I used to think that your president has the 100% support of the population, as in Russia, and those who disagree simply can not be. Как же можно перечить батьке?

Well, nowadays people are starting to think differently.
I think that in a couple of months there'll be so much action that батька will be defeated... or all the country will be in jail.
Some people suggest starting a partizan war against him, so he should be careful now.
