Do they realize what they have done?

Minsker Tatsiana Ulasenka wrote about the mass detention on the Freedom day in Minsk on her facebook page:

“This year’s Freedom Day will be remembered for a long long time. They detained rock-musicians Zmitser Vaitsiushkevich, Liavon Volski, Pavel Arakelian, and Ihar Varashkevich. The police have long disgraced themselves to the bottom line, but this is clearly something new. Do they realize what they have done? This is so disgusting! The cops made clowns of themselves, the whole world saw that. I so don’t want to be in somebody’s shoes, indeed! This is so ridiculous!”

Important to note, on March 24, activist Zmitser Dashkevich was detained. On March 25, it is known about the detention of the Vitsebsk oppositionist Barys Khamaida. The police besieged the houses of other activists throughout the day.

During the celebration of the Freedom Day on March 25, activist Alena Talstaya chained herself to a post in the Kastrychnitskaya Square in Minsk to express her protest. She was also detained by police officers.

The police also detained acting Chairman of the United Civil Party Party Mikalai Kazlou and BCD Co-Chairman Vital Rymasheuski in the kastrychnitskaya Square in Minsk.

In the center of Minsk, musicians Liavon Volski, Ihar Varashkevich, Zmitser Vaitsiushkevich and Pavel Arakelian, who were going to give a free concert in honor of the Freedom Day, were detained.

Then the police detained several more people who were going to celebrate the Freedom Day in the center of the capital.

In the evening of March 25, all those detained on Freedom Day, except for Alena Talstaya, were released from the Central district police department in Minsk.
