BELAZ Workers Detained En Masse Because Of Brand Boots

They were mocking the counterfeit of the Timberland brand.

The Human Rights Centre ‘Viasna’ received information about mass detentions at the BELAZ enterprise in Zhodzina. It is reported that the detentions are related to the new Chinese boots, which the enterprise started to produce.

‘It is alleged that one of the employees of the enterprise created a chat room, in which he began to ridicule the boots - after that the detentions began,’ stated the message.

We remind you, new brand products appeared in the catalogue of the online shop of the Zhodzina manufacturer of BELAZ dump trucks. Now you can buy there not only compact souvenirs in the form of badges, toy BELAZ trucks or stationery, but also clothes and shoes with the logo of the enterprise.

The thing is that the boots for sale under the BELAZ logo look very similar to the shoes of the world-famous American Timberland brand.
