ABSTRACT:


This morning, 24 March 2006, Belarussian indymedia activists in Minsk distributed information, that last night 3:30 AM OMON moved to destroy the tent camp that has been put up in the city center to protest fraud in the elections in Belarus. 30-40 tents were trashed, around 500 people arrested. Among destroyed tents there was a tent of

Belarussian Indymedia, and among the arrested there were many radical activists, such as members of the anarcho-punk band Deviation (singer Stas Pochyobut) and editors of the banned satirical
anarchist paper Navinki. The people who were arrested were heavily brutalized. As all the police stations in the city are full of people arrested during the last 10 days (the number of people arrested all around Belarus is estimated at around 500-1000), the people arrested in the October Square were taken to unknown destinations off the city limits, including the town of Zhodino. Their place, condition and charges pressed against them are currently unknown.
