Unrest in Belarus Continues

The strong-arm tactics of the police may be breaking the strength of the Belarus opposition. The authorities appear to successfully blocked the demonstrators from starting another demonstration on the square where it was planned to occur. The police have been forcing would-be demonstrator back up streets and alleys, away from the intended gathering place. They also appear to be cracking down hard on students who join the opposition, confiscating their student IDs and having them expelled if they are caught.

Despite Western sanctions, the president of Belarus continues the assault on democracy. The only thing people of good will can do is to keep publicizing this as best we can. Do not let the outrage be forgotten.
