Heroic Act of a Belarusian Patriot on Freedom Day

Journalists try to find out the name of a brave man.

A man in a baseball cap, the man who did not pass by a dropped white-red-white flag, has become the hero of the Freedom Day.

Film director Mikalai Khalezin drew attention to the deed of a Minsk resident.

There were enough people around, but the riot police did not bothered him.

As soon as the flag was taken away from one of demonstrators, the man said in a loud voice "lift off the flag again!". And he proudly walked along the avenue with it. The white-red-white cloth waved over the demonstrators again.

The man could not but understand the end of the story. Three riot policemen rushed to him, nn.by writes.

We hope the man was not punished. Charter97.org addresses to the man or his relatives and friends to make his name public.

It will be recalled that on March 25 thousands of riot policemen resisted peaceful demonstrators.
