Representatives of Sviatlana Cichanouskaja, the leader of the Belarusian opposition based in Lithuania, reported about the attack on the souvenir shop managed by the former Belarusian political prisoner in the old town of Vilnius.
As it is written in the press release of S. Cichanouskaja, Savičius st. (Vilnius Old Town) souvenir shop “Kropka” belongs to former Belarusian political prisoner Dmitry Furmanov.
“This is completely unacceptable, disgusting and dangerous. I am convinced that this is another provocation by the regime in order to harm Belarusians and Lithuanians, to sow a sense of fear in the Belarusian community. This is reminiscent of a series of provocative graffiti that appeared in Vilnius a little earlier, when the regime incited the topic of so-called “Livinism”, S. Cichanouskaja is quoted in the report.
The message of the leader of the Belarusian opposition is also illustrated by several photos showing a broken window and a red-painted inscription on the wall: “Go home Belarusian pigs”.
