HFHR letter regarding the arrests and brutal attacks by riot police of peaceful demonstrators in Minsk, Belarus2008-04-03 The Helsinki Foundation for Human Rights condemns the arrests and brutal attacks by riot police of peaceful demonstrators in Minsk. We especially condemn the arrests of journalists covering the event, and the ongoing harassment of independent media and individual journalists. On 25 March thousands of Belarusians came to Minsk to take part in a peaceful demonstration dedicated to the 90th anniversary of Belarusian Democratic Republic. The riot police used brutal force against the peaceful participants. More than 100 were detained. Among them were correspondents from Lithuania and citizens from Poland and Ukraine. |
