Picket in Biaroza: We are not Russia

10

Biaroza, Brest region, is the only city in Belarus that had an authorized picket in honour of the Independence Day.

Twelve civil activists reminded of the Declaration of Independence adopted on July 27, 1990. All participators were standing under white-red-white flags and posters in their hands, such as "No for the Eurasian Union", "We are not Russia", Radio Racyja reports.

It was the first authorized picket in 18 years.

"I believe it is the main national holiday, and somehow it is forgotten", one of the participators says.

"Unfortunately, our, so to say, historical chance has been lost. We missed 25 years. But such dates we should remember. It gives us hope for future to become truly independent", another Biaroza resident says.

Ten policemen, an ideology worker, people in plain clothes were keeping a close eye on the picket. All the action was captured on video.
