It restores hope for a change in the situation in Belarus.

On November 15, the first meeting of free people was held in Minsk at two squares - Kastrychnitskaya Square and Freedom Square. The participants of the meeting discussed #what's next? (#чтодальше?) and how Belarus can become a decent European country.

At the end of the meeting, BNC leader Mikalai Statkevich and well-known journalist Iryna Khalip urged the Belarusians to meet at Freedom Square in Minsk at 18:00 on November 16 for a legal election rally.

Iryna Khalip summed up the results of last night's rally:

- The rally was a success. Many thanks to those who forced us to gather in this beautiful part of the old Minsk (near the town hall on Freedom Square - ed.).

Today I have seen a huge number of new, young faces on the square. It is very important. And I would very much like to hear them. I hope that tomorrow (November 16 - ed.) they will be able to speak. I also hope that there will be more of us.

I absolutely hope that more young people will come to the protest movement - the ones who do not even know what it is yet. These young people do not know fear - and together we can change the situation and move something in Belarus.

We have decided to hold a rally within Alena Talstaya's campaign picket on November 16th - so everything will be legal. Here, on this spot, at 18.00. And I would very much like to hear the speeches of our youth at this meeting.
