Another anonymous letter surfaced revealing some plans of the authorities to prevent the much-feared uprising. Naviny.by published some shocking preparation strategies of the Belarusian law enforcement, as presented by an incognito police officer.
According to him, 250 cynologists with dogs were deployed from the guarded objects, including penitentiary institutions. The decision was made by Lieutenant-General Naumov, who had been appointed to coordinate the special operation.
Besides, 50 armored vehicles and 15 water cannon machines have been put on alert.
According to unchecked data, the riot police received a stock of special non-lethal weapons, including 700 ultrasound grenades Zaria-1; 2,5 thousand rubber bullets; gas grenades Taifun, Cheremuha, and Siren; 200 gas grenades Taifun-M, loaded with neuro- paralytic gas, leading to uncontrollable defecation.
The anonym revealed that, on the square in the crowd, there would be a special intelligence unit, which would instigate the gathered for active protests, violations of law and order, and would even conduct a series of bomb blasts where the crowd would be the densest. This is planned to arouse panic and also later to make the opposition leaders accountable.
Meanwhile, the entire world is watching on us with hope. A popular Polish band Big Cyc recorded a Belarusian-language song “Dictator.” Guess who it was about. Recently, there was a large concert in the center of Warsaw. It was entitled “Solidarity with Belarus” and brought together many big names in Polish and Belarusian music.
Tomorrow, as usual on the 16th, there will be a protest picket near the Belarusian embassy in Washington, DC. And on the 19th of March, a big manifestation for democratic Belarus is planned in New York.
