500 or 5000 arrested total?? автор boud, дата 2006-03-25 01:16	500 or 5000 arrested total?? автор boud, дата 2006-03-25 04:11
Can someone confirm if the estimate for the total arrested around Belarus is 500 or 5000? Is this from the political parties (Milinkievich, Kozulin)?	Can someone confirm if the estimate for the total arrested around Belarus is 500 or 5000? Is this from the political parties (Milinkievich, Kozulin)? It seems to me that the different comments and what i read before are consistent with: before the election, about 300-400 arrested (political party opposition) from 19-23.03.06, maybe 400 (Amnesty International: http://web.amnesty.org/pages/blr-230306-action-eng ) night of 23-24.03.06, about 450 arrested total: about 1150-1250 Dependent media: http://news.independent.co.uk/europe/article353478.ece The opposition said 500 people were detained. Summary: “about 1000” seems more realistic. i think the “5000” quote in the pga_europe article is probably a mutated meme (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/meme ).
