Minsk Dwellers Handed Out Flags With Pahonia

On November 17 activists of Alternativa held campaign near Kamarouski market in Minsk. They handed out national symbols.

Members of the organisation handed out to passers-by little flags with Pahonia coat-of-arms.

As BelaPAN was told by the leader of Alternativa Aleh Korban, they had decided to time their campaign to the anniversary of Slutsk Military Uprising. “Today is the 95th anniversary of the beginning of resistance by courageous fighters of Slutsk region to establishing the Soviet Bolshevik power in our country. Alternativa activists decided to hold another action in the framework of the campaign For Independent Belarus, and to congratulate Minsk dwellers in the first place on such an important date, on this jubilee, and to hand out national symbols,” – Korban said.

According to him, such an event could show “how active and patriotic Minsk dwellers are, and what the stand of the authorities to this initiative is.”

The event lasted for about 40 minutes. In about half an hour after it started, a police car arrived to the scene, as well as a minibus with law enforcers in mufti. A policeman copied passport details of Korban, and one of the law-enforcers videoed what was happening. However, the event ended without anyone to be detained, and no reports were drawn up.
