In Belarus, they demonstrated in memory of the killed activist. Police arrested over 640 people

Belarusian police arrested at least 640 people during Sunday’s protests. The DPA informed about it with reference to the data of the human rights organization Vjasna. People who took to the streets in many Belarusian cities, including Minsk and Brest, are united by the motto “I’m going out”. That was the latest report from 31-year-old activist Raman Bandarenko, who died in hospital on Thursday after being beaten and detained in Minsk.

In the capital, according to witnesses referred to by Reuters, police arrested dozens of people. To disperse the crowd that demonstrated against the government Alexandra Lukashenko, deployed rubber bullets, tear gas and flash grenades.

According to the DPA, journalists were also among those arrested. Several people were injured, including a woman hit in the leg by a deafening grenade or a man captured in witnesses lying unconscious on the lawn. He had allegedly been beaten before.
