Belarus election: Police use live fire on protesters in Brest (opens in new tab)

I recommend checking @nexta_live in Telegram to understand the scale of protests and the scale of violence there. It’s in Russian and Belarusian language, but there are plenty of videos of what’s happening now.

Recently there were reports of major internet outages in Belarus, coinciding with the election.[1]

Trying to hide this sort of violence may be one reason for such outages.

This is actually good news. The only chance are widespread strikes, and strikes can only be fueled by something dramatic kind this.

Rigged elections were expected, the question is if strikes are following. The weather is perfect for strikes.
