Break The Chain

It will be the best way out for the Belarusians.

A new instruction on determining the health requirements for citizens associated with military duty has been adopted. It has been published today. The document immediately came into force, the «Баста!» telegram channel writes.

The main part of the instruction is the so-called schedule of diseases. This document contains a list of diseases and the categories of fitness for military service of those conscripts who have them.

The Ministry of Defence and the official media justify that the instruction is just a clarification of its previous version, but all who have carefully read it, understand that it is not so. The document significantly expands the opportunities for conscription, many diseases have been excluded from the schedule, now almost everyone is fit to serve in the army. Even HIV-positive people can be called up in wartime. And the war is already going on in our country, as Lukashenka has repeatedly stated recently.

The reason for the emergence of such a document is quite simple - lack of free labor force and the authorities' desire to tighten control over schoolchildren and students. This is another link in the chain, which already includes the "law on army slavery," creation of a database of "volunteers" and forced postgraduate work assignment.

This is not the last link. The choice for a student is simple. Either to agree to be a free labor force at Lukashenka's games, championships and parades during the study, or go to the army to build dachas for the bosses and tolerate humiliation and hazing.

Or to break the chain.
