Police disperse demonstrators in downtown Minsk

Police in Minsk have dispersed a demonstration of solidarity with victims of politically motivated persecution.   About a hundred of opposition activists gathered at Kastrychnitskaya Square in Minsk displaying images of what the opposition calls political prisoners and disappeared opposition politicians as well as signs saying, "Free Political Prisoners," white-red-white and EU flags.

 

Ten minutes later police used brutal force to break up the demonstration, Khartyya-97 reported.
