Warsaw demonstration in support of free Belarus

A demonstration in support of the democratic aspirations of Belarus will be held on the streets of Warsaw today.

The demonstration will be held in commemoration of the 90th anniversary of establishing the Belarusian People's Republic in 1918, which the present Lukashenka regime does not recognise.

"Today's demonstration will be a way of signalling protest against the undemocratic authorities in Minsk and showing the people of Belarus that we are aware of the situation in their country," said Tadeusz Kochman from the Inicjatywa Wolna Bialorus association, quoted by the Polish Radio News Agency (IAR).

The Warsaw protest will begin at 6 PM next to the Copernicus' monument in Krakowskie Przedmiescie street. A similar demonstration organised by opposition activists will start in Minsk simultaneously.
