But was that a logical resolution of display of public disobedience? What other conclusion one would expect. It is a predictable thing, if you protest long enough you eventually will get arrested. It will happened in Belarus , Cairo or Washington DC. One will need much more than 500 or even 5000 protesters to make a difference. And sadly enough most of the Belorussian people happy with status quo. Unlike Ukraine and Russia pensioners get their government checks on time and for most of them it is a sign of a good government. System is corrupt and oppressive , but it is fine with most of the people who get their salaries and pensions on time. Don't expect any changes unless majority gets pissed off.
