Belarus freedom

You must have heard of what is happening in Belarus since Sunday, August 9, when president Lukashenko rigged the presidential elections in his country. By all independent accounts, he lost these elections by a landslide. Hundreds of thousands of citizens have taken to the streets to protest the election-rigging peacefully. They demand the departure of the man who has ruled the country by questionable means for 26 years since his first term in 1994.

Opposition demonstrations have continued throughout the country in recent days; police officers have arrested protesters en masse, using tear gas, stun grenades, water cannons, rubber bullets, and truncheons against demonstrators. Women formed similar solidarity chains in neighborhoods throughout the Belarusian capital, as well as in the cities of Zhodino, Grodno, Lida, and Gomel. My work inspired by beautiful people of Belarus. Жыве Беларусь!
