“#Pratasevich is the founder of the Telegram channel #Nexta which was broadly used to organize anti- government #protests, and another similar channel critical of the government, both of which are classified as extremist in #Belarus.”

“… #Pratasevich is also on a government wanted list for terrorism. There are differing reports as to why the budget airline Ryanair plane was forced to land.”

TRANSCRIPT:
My dear beloved Belarusians! We all and our country are going through a very difficult period in our history. When meanness borders on heroism, despair on courage, and love on betrayal. During this period we must make our choice. These times demand it from us.
My dear beloved Belarusians! We all and our country are going through a very difficult period in our history. When meanness borders on heroism, despair on courage, and love on betrayal. During this period we must make our choice. These times demand it from us.
These days, when we buried our heroes, I cry with you. This is an incredible loss for the country: innocent young people have been killed. We need to support their families. We are obliged to name the streets by their names in the future, their names will remain in our memory
BREAKING => BelAZ - one of the most important state-owned enterprises (they produce the biggest tracks in the world) - as well as further state enterprices initiated a strike today in #Belarus. They want: free elections, stop the violence and dislocate OMON (police) from town
another state enterprise in Hrodna: "Who voted for #Tsikhanouskaya?" Everybody raises hands!!!
What does it mean? #Tsikhanouskaya could have absolute majority in #Belarus! Now people at state-owned enterpises not afraid to talk to mayors, directors and admit openly for whom they voted. Opposition in #Belarus came to the outpost of #Lukaschenka => this could mean the End
Actual and former officers declare support for protesters. There are many videos like these nowadays. In this video, the former riot policeman throws away military uniforms like this guy.
This man claims he is an actual police officer and recognizes #Tsikhanouskaya as a legitimate leader. He also states that he won't obey to #Lukashenka
In Navapolacak, the police officer who publicly spoke out against violence DETAINED.
Since yesterday, many police officers, employees of law enforcement, publish the statements condemning the violence against peaceful protesters

THREAD. Summary of this dark evening in #Belarus
1. Protests were NOT initiated by #Tsikhanouskaya, she only called for gathering near polling stations & waiting for results. Simultaneously, popular Telegram NEXTA called for peaceful protest gatherings in city centres nationwide
1. Protests were NOT initiated by #Tsikhanouskaya, she only called for gathering near polling stations & waiting for results. Simultaneously, popular Telegram NEXTA called for peaceful protest gatherings in city centres nationwide
2. Both strategies worked. People came to make pressure on election commissions. At several polling stations voices were even fairly counted & #Tsikhanouskaya won over #Lukashenka. Then people went to protest on the streets: it was not coordinated or centralised, but nationwide
3. Police violence in #Minsk was unprecedented for Belarus (water, gas, rubber bullets, stun grenades), many injuries, deaths could be expected. But in several cities in regions police took the people's side (video). More on specific of regions here: outride.rs/en/why-belarus…
It's election day in #Belarus and long lines are present outside voting boots throughout the country.
Internet has been disrupted all the day, there is a fear of voter fraud in the air

Such a big difference with previous elections when voting boots were largely empty throughout the day
