Several hundred people gather for “Chernobyl Way” in Minsk

Participants of a traditional opposition action “Chernobyl Way” gathered near the National Academy of Sciences at 6 p.m. According to different sources, from 200 to 500 people have come to the venue. All participants had to go through radio-metal locators.

Policemen have not allowed any loud-hailers so organizers had to use megaphones.

People are collecting signatures to urge the authorities to protect Belarusians from the consequences of Chernobyl disaster.

Let us remind you that the city authorities have allowed the organizers’ itinerary. Demonstrators will walk from the Academy of Sciences towards Chernobyl Chapel in Peoples’ Friendship Park.
