Chernobyl Way organizers to collect money for sick children during rally

The organizers have gathered a press-conference on Tuesday in Minsk. 

They have announced that this year they are going to collect donations for cancer-affected children during the Chernobyl Way action. The collected money will be passed to one of the hospitals.

They have also announced that the opposition leaders plan a trip to Homel region, home to the areas that suffered the most from the Chernobyl nuclear contamination fallout on the anniversary of the disaster.

An application for a permit to stage the Chernobyl Way action was filed with Minsk City Hall by representatives of Movement for Freedom, United Civil Party (UCP),  organizing committee of Belarusian Christian Democracy party, Belarusian Popular Front, Belarusian Social-Democratic Party (Hramada) and civil organization EcoHome.
