Kyiv: Activists demand release of colleagues arrested in Belarus

Members of the Studentske Bratstvo organization pitched tents in front of the Belarusian embassy in Kyiv on Wednesday. They are demanding the release of their organization's members who were arrested in Belarus last weekend. They claim their fellow activists were beaten by Belarusian police and want those responsible to be brought to justice. They are also calling for an end to political repressions in Belarus.

A spokesman told 5 Kanal that their demonstration will not end until their demands are met. On Thursday, they plan using drums and loudspeakers to ensure the people inside the embassy hear their demands.
