      Evidently, police are using disproportionate force to disperse protesters. People just stand and wait, and shout "Long Live Belarus!" Police throw explosives.pic.twitter.com/ghMN0HwWsP

          The protests today are taking place in multiple location of Minsk and in at least 12 cities in regions. In Minsk, when police disperced the protesters at one place, they did appear somewhere else.pic.twitter.com/jmuIaH0jEu

          Different types of explosives were used. Not just light grenades. The character of injuries showed that many of them are quite dangerous. Some experts sat that such explosives are not recommended for police use during massive gatherings.pic.twitter.com/HcDOczfnxL

          This one is spectacular! Riot police in Kobryn (Brest region) put the shields down. Protesters applauded them. In Minsk and large cities, law enforcement is definitely loyal to Lukashenka. But police in smaller towns will be likely supportive to protesters.pic.twitter.com/tIBIY0UnjR

          Spectacular! It’s like an expo of anti-riot equipment. Water cannons, police vans, military jeeps, other stuff I don't know for what.https://twitter.com/fotaczka/status/1292642258437705728 …
