A piece of the harsh detention was published by propagandists, Viasna writes. On it, the security officer with his foot pressed the man’s face into the asphalt.
In the video, a man asks why he was detained. The security officer answers him: “For the flags, for the technical inspection – and for the fact that you are a fucking extremist!”
At the same time, the voice of the security official has been changed.
Massive political repressions in Belarus have been going on since 2020, when Alexander Lukashenkojudging by the information from the polling stations where election commissions allowed observers to monitor the vote count, lost Svetlana Tikhanovskayabut did not give up power.
Since 2022, after the Russian attack on Ukraine, Belarusians have also been persecuted for anti-war statements or sympathies for Ukraine.
During this time, at least 50,000 politically motivated arrests have occurred in the country, at least 12,000 political and criminal cases have been opened, and even the most basic norms of legality and morality have been discarded.
