Internet poll on ONT website: authorities stand behind blast in Minsk

The website of the state-run ONT TV channel has organised an Internet poll on the question “In your view, who stands behind blast at 3 July holiday”.

It is remarkable that the vast majority (more than 72 per cent) of the visitors of the state-run TV channel’s website think the authorities stand behind the blast.

At ten in the morning the results of the poll sowed that 7 per sent accuse the opposition of the blast, about 10 per cent think it was organised by terrorists, less than 12 per cent suggest hooligans are responsible for it, and absolute majority – about 73 per cent – are sure the authorities are to blame for the blast in Minsk.

It should be reminded the bomb in Minsk exploded on 4 July during an open air gig dedicated to the official Independence Day. 57 people were injured. About 39 people are still in Minsk hospitals, three of them are in grave condition. Most of the victims were injured slightly. The Ministry of the Internal Affaires of Belarus has instigated a criminal case over the blast on the article “hooliganism”.

At 11.25 am, (when 79 per cent voted the authorities stand behind the blast in Minsk), the poll was removed from the website.
