BELARUS NEEDS YOUR SUPPORT 

Across the country they’re blocking Internet connections, protesters came out for a PEACEFUL protest to defend their voice and their right. People are tired of this dictator. Polling stations across the country publicly announced the results of voting to residents of these areas, and almost everywhere Svetlana is the winner. But officially, government representatives declare that 80% of the population SUPPORTS LUKASHENKO. This is not true. Our television and all media resources spread terrible and untrue information, calling the protesters bandits and accusing them of causing injuries to law enforcement officials. In fact, the police and all the armed forces last night used rubber bullets in all the cities of Belarus (this has never been used in the country before), water cannons, stun grenades, and so on. The President himself today brazenly lied and said that the police and others used rubber bullets only once. But according to unofficial data, more than 50 people are in hospitals with wounds, burns and other injuries.

PLEASE SUPPORT US

HERE IS A GOOD THREAD ABOUT THE CURRENT SITUATION

the internet is shut down (which means that it’s nearly impossible to contact my fam and friends there) and the police with the armed forces are suppressing the protests even more brutally today! they’re shooting rubber bullets and throwing flashbang grenades at peaceful people. they’re detaining even the random people on the streets. yesterday, in the small towns, people won a victory, but today more police were sent there, so the whole country is suffering.
