Belarusians Take to Protest (Online)

The world is shocked to watch the events in Belarus.

The presidential elections in Belarus have ended. Yermoshyna CEC falsified the results, but independent exit polls fixed the victory of presidential candidate Sviatlana Tsikhanouskaya. She won with the result of 72.1%, while Lukashenka had only 13.7%.

On August 9th mass protest actions took place in 33 cities of Belarus. On August 10th the Belarusians continued their protest. August 11, the All-Belarusian strike started all over the country, and at 7 pm, Belarusians took to the streets of their cities responding to the call of several Telegram channels.

It should be noted that the actions are held with the full blackout of the Internet in the country. Lukashenka is afraid of mass actions and tries to hide information about the situation in the country.

THE BELARUSIANS ARE TAKING TO THE STREETS AGAIN!

Yesterday, Minsk showed the whole world that it is possible to defeat numerous and armed forces of hit squads! The protest tactics to disperse all over the city and complicate the work of the riot policemen by searching for groups of PEACEFUL demonstrators proved to be the most successful. From now on, protest tactics are as simple as possible.

DECENTRALISATION! BE LIKE WATER!

✅ Leave your houses, meet your neighbours and gather in small groups of up to 20 people.

✅ Don't stand on one point! Move towards the city centre in small groups, but do not go out onto the central squares - the security forces are ready for this.

✅ If you are few and the security forces are on the attack - run, regroup and appear elsewhere. There's no shame in retreat! BE LIKE WATER!

✅ OUR PROTEST IS PEACEFUL! Do not attack the bandits in black first! Be ready to defend yourself and remember your protective equipment: helmets, shields, tight goggles, gloves and gas masks/respirators. Don't forget to protect your body - thick glossy magazines or books can be wrapped up for this purpose! They save you from rubber bullets. Try to disable equipment, not fascists!

Be ready to defend yourself against the provocations and violence of the Lukashists.

✅ OUR SLOGANS ARE SIMPLE!

ELECTIONS WITHOUT LUKASHENKA!

FREEDOM FOR POLITICAL PRISONERS!

We stand for freedom! For the end of a 26-year dictatorship!
