Belarus Interior Minister Naumov told journalists this Saturday that an unidentified device had been blown up during today’s demonstration.

“There was an explosion of an unidentified device, and it was not application of special measures by the law enforcement,” assured Naumov.

It seems like Belarus’ courts found a pretense to practically apply KGB head’s dreadful story about the prepared terrorist acts.

However, it was not hard to see who was behind the bloodshed. See the picture below. You can see a notorious Pavlichenko, SOBR commander in his red beret.

By the way, it was Kozulin who called the protesters to head toward Okrestino jail and demand liberation of political prisoners. Milinkevich and his team was calling for a peaceful meeting and when it was over he urged the crowd to disperse.

At this point, Milinkevich’s team expressed their strong disagreement with Kozulin’s call, which led to bloodshed, and stated that since now on they would not offer Kozulin to join the newly forming grand coalition For Liberty!

Update: Kozulin’s website is questioning Milinkevich’s position and wonders whether he could be a regime’s puppet. Kazulin is currently arrested.

Account-free dialup internet access was cut off in Belarus’ capital. According to AFN, journalists, Pavel Sheremet and Svetlana Kulinkina, are in jail. The news agency also reported that it received an unchecked data that the tent-camp had been attacked by an ad hoc regiment in direct command of the president. The soldiers were dressed as OMON operatives.

Mass arrests have begun. Kazulin is detained. People are been beaten by the riot police. There are injured. The wounded are carried away on stretchers. Noise and smoke granades were used.

RFE\RL reports that Milinkevich’s car was stopped. The new reports are coming that he is free. But his spokesman Paval Mazejka was detained with sound amplifying equipment. Milinkevich is reported to be heading to the police station, whereto Mazejka was taken.

The breaking news: near Operetta Theater explosions have been heard. A lot of beaten people lie on the ground.
Today Belarusians celebrate Freedom Day or, as it alternatively can and should be called and regarded, Independence Day. How can we solemnize it in an unfree country? Traditionally, this is a day of protests in recent history of Belarus, and this time street rally is quite impressive even to the cops who were reported saying that they hadn’t expected such a crowd.
The president’s administration building was blocked by several lines of OMON, riot police squads, and protesters could not make it to the October Square, which was also cordoned off.
Actually, many people were arrested and hampered from joining the gathering. Even Milinkevich supposedly had troubles getting through to the venue.
Crowd of about 10,000 people was moving toward Okrestino jail with intention to demand immediate release of political prisoners, when the riot police attacked.

A demonstration of solidarity with Belarus’ opposition is planned this Saturday, 25 March, in Manhattan, NYC.
All not indifferent people are welcome to come support democracy and freedom for Belarus!
The rally starts at 9:00am at the building of Belarusian mission to UN, 136 East, 67th Street (between 3rd and Lex. Ave), New York, NY 10021.
Please, don’t hesitate to join. Pass this information to your relatives and friends.
Long live free, independent, democratic Belarus!
