Belarusian police were quoted as saying they had not detained her. Two fellow opposition figures, Anton Rodnenkov and Ivan Kravtsov, told a news conference in Kyiv that they had been detained by Belarusian officials in plain clothes, who escorted them to the border and then put Kolesnikova into their car and told them to cross Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Such a comment is expected from you given what appears to be that domestic democracy is a joke. Democracy abroad apparently deserves no different treatment. 7 minutes ago, Tiberius said: Putin’s move to crush democracy goes on.

Are you aware that China is by far the worlds biggest threat to democracy? And that Joe Biden is very cozy with and is the favored candidate of the Communist Party? While you’ve been spending all your time worrying about the Russian ‘JV Team’ the Chinese have been running laps around the field. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiberius Posted September 20, 2020 Author Share Posted September 20, 2020 Belarus police have detained hundreds of women in the capital Minsk who had joined a march demanding that longtime President Alexander Lukashenko resign. Men in green uniforms and black balaclavas encircled female protesters who shouted, "Only cowards beat women!" Among the detained was Nina Bahinskaya, a 73-year-old great-grandmother who has become an icon of the protest movement. Mass protests are expected for the sixth straight Sunday over what was widely seen as a rigged election. President Lukashenko, who has ruled Belarus for 26 years, claimed an overwhelming victory in the 9 August poll, but a brutal crackdown on initial protests against the result only fuelled popular anger. Europe's longest-serving ruler under fire What's happening in Belarus? 'Breathing freedom': Belarusians hope for change Around 2,000 people, mostly women, joined Saturday's march, which has become a weekly prelude to mass demonstrations every Sunday. They briefly scuffled with police who then blocked their path and started picking people one by one. Police detained so many protesters that they ran out of room in vans and had to free some of the women, according to AFP news agency. It reported that Ms Bahinskaya was taken to a police station and released shortly afterwards. Video posted by the independent Tut.by website showed a masked officer abruptly removing the flag and flowers she was carrying as she was pushed into a van. In total, more than 300 women were detained, local human rights group Viasna said. Police did not give a number. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-54220414 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
