At this time (since August 2020 ) 35,000 people have been arrested, according to data from the Interior Ministry. "Translation 2: "In this period nine people have been killed on the streets across Belarus. Many people have suffered physical harm. 1,800 have filed complaints about torture in detention centers and prisons."Translation 3: "Lukashenko is taking some timid steps and trying to create the illusion of change to meet the Kremlin's expectations. But really, we must understand that this person (Lukashenko), like any dictator, wants to stay in power until the last day of their life".Translation 4: "In our possession there is a secret document ordering members of the police, the KGB and the Army to form mobile brigades to crush the protests this spring. That is to say, once again, Lukashenko orders to the Army to participate in the repression of peaceful protests. "Translation 5: "That is, the extermination of the Belarusian people takes place. And Europe? Europe is in solidarity. Can solidarity be the only instrument for action? Why has a high-level group not yet been created in the EU for the beginning of the dialogue with Moscow and Minsk for the solution of the situation in Belarus? Why has the European Union not yet adopted sanctions against the regime, its portfolios, policemen, prosecutors, members of the security forces who torture Belarusians? "Translation 6: "Seven months have passed. And, so far, no real instruments of pressure on the regime have been adopted. Lukashenko, as a person, is afraid.

"Translation 7: "The citizens of Belarus have the right to self-defense. On March 25 we will celebrate an act that we will call" For Freedom "that will be related to a historical date for the People's Republic of Belarus (anniversary of its short-lived independence from the Russian Empire in 1918). Of course, Belarusians who take to the streets, and not only in Minsk, but also in other cities, take risks. The authorities are preparing provocations. They have already reported the discovery of TNT and weapons. All that is propaganda. " .
Minsk, Oct 25 (EFE/EPA).- More than 100,000 Belarusians took to the streets of Minsk and other cities on the 11th consecutive Sunday of anti-government protests, this time on the so-called "People's Ultimatum Day" against President Alexandr Lukashenko, demanding that he resign by midnight and free all political prisoners."Today at 11:59 pm, the People's Ultimatum starts and, if the demands are not met, Belarusians will begin a national strike," warned opposition-leader-in-exile Svetlana Tikhanovskaya on the Telegram television channel.Later, with Lukashenko's failure to respond by the deadline to - and comply with - the ultimatum, Tikhanovskaya issued another statement, saying: "The regime once again has demonstrated today to Belarusians that violence is the only thing it has. But detonating stun grenades against people and below the windows of maternity hospitals is not power. The regime is not ready to fulfill the demands of the people. This means that this regime is not worthy of the Belarusian people and it means that it is losing power." (Camera: TATSIANA ZENKOVICH).
