LYMEC does not tolerate the manipulative tactics of Belarusian authorities


On Sunday around 10.000 courageous Belarusian opposition representatives celebrated the Freedom Day commemorating the Belarusian People’s Republic, which existed back in the early XIX century. Each year this historical day reminds to Belarusians of their freedom and independence from Russia. Due to the serious manipulative actions taken by the government on the rally day, LYMEC urges the EU leaders to maintain the existing sanctions to the oppressors in Belarus.
Even though this time the Belarusian authorities allowed the demonstrators to gather, yet pushing them to the non–central area of the city, and even tolerated the foreigners coming inside the country, LYMEC views it clearly as a manipulative tactics - a government’s performance of fake acceptance to further absorb the opposition. Young European liberals condemn the arrest of over fifty people during the demonstration on Sunday.
