"If Plants Stand Idle for a Week, This Regime Collapses"

There is an appeal of a Belarusian to workers.

If plants stand idle for a week, the regime collapses. The workers all over the world could do this, but you spit on self-respect and went back to work, losing the respect of your people.

"Dear workers! How much blood should women, students and your comrades shed? How many people should be jailed, tortured and persecuted for you finally to go on a strike?

It means to stay home and withstand the pressure of the leadership. If plants stand idle for a week, the regime collapses. The workers all over the world could do this but you can't?

How many of your demands have been met? Zero. And you spit on your self-respect and went back to work, losing the respect of your people. You acted as heroes during the first week after elections!

Stop being cowards. The country stands behind you."
