The 31st anniversary of the Chernobyl disaster is commemorated in Minsk today, on April 26. Two actions are expected to be held in Minsk.
BPF members will gather in Kiev Public Garden at 6 p.m. The traditional manifestation will begin near the Academy of Sciences at the same time. Representatives of opposition movements and opponents of nuclear power will gather there.
Both actions are allowed by the authorities.
Euroradio is covering the actions live.

Viasna human rights centre observers have counted the present near the cinema house Katsrychnik – about 240 people. This is probably the least attended Chernobyl Way since 2011 when it was not organized at all.

This is not the parade of combat vehicles we saw on March 25. But BT’s car is there so we can expect another series about ‘the black legion’.

Volice vans are parked along Darashevich Street. It is not far from the place where Chernobyl Way is about to start.
