Mass Opposition Celebration of the 25th of March
-
25/03/2007
Around 6 thousands people took part in mass celebration by Opposition of the Day of Independence (Day of proclamation of the Belarus’ Independent State). On the day the centre of Minsk was blocked by riot police, preventing people from gathering. Several people were pushed or beaten by those police forces. Nevertheless, they moved through the city centre streets with flags.
Some time later people gathered not far from Minsk city centre and held a meeting. Many participants were holding National Belarusian and European Union flags. The opposition candidate at the last President Elections Alexander Milinkevich along with other members of Belarus’ Opposition and international observers took part in this celebration.
On this historic day of 25th of March the Opposition held a memorable action that not only addressed the local issues, but was a part of a wide international celebration of 50th Anniversary of the formation of the European Union.
