      [SOUND ON] "It feels like we live in Middle Ages." Here is audio recorded last night near the Minsk detention center where hundreds/thousands are being kept, indoor and outdoor. You can hear screams and moans from beatings.pic.twitter.com/flb4CjdyDY

      "They were beating me, harassing, taking pants off, threatening to f***" Some detainees released from the detention center described the tortures they experienced. Some detainees are taken by ambulances right from there.pic.twitter.com/xqJSfimBsl

      URGENT! Happening now. People should stop clapping near the prison! Each time when people are clapping or chanting near the walls of prison -- prisoners are beaten unconscious. Real fascism!

      My colleague is near the detention center now. He says that two girls just left the detention center. They are in shock, they can't speak, they are сrying. Other detainees say that some people might be beaten to death. Other describes the place as the hell.

      I've been detained at that center for three times (i am on the photo). It's a horrible place indeed, inhuman conditions. People were beaten there before as well. But not like now! Now - they are killing people there.pic.twitter.com/p2P1EhHK8m

      The released protesters spoke out. There were 46 people in the cell supposed to fit max six. It was still much better than outdoor on the asphalt. Periodically, they were kicked out and beaten. Some people had broken arms and legs. Read these testimonies https://news.tut.by/society/696598.html …

          International attention helped. Many detainees were released last night from detention centers where they have been tortured. They are morally depressed, some in bad condition. Many are still in hospitals. We hope they all will survive. https://www.svaboda.org/a/30783228.html pic.twitter.com/9R0EcAg8af

          It’s possible that it’s a provocation. Made as if to discover its fakness later and blame it on “lying victims”. Is there a source for this video? Anyone knows this guy or can confirm?

          This guy on the video claims he was beaten up by the special forces in #Belarus. The blood on his face on his shoulder, arm looks real, but that guy speaks very calmly, with a good speech, not worrying or concern of his injuries. No drama. I would guess it was possibly staged

          He also says that riot police OMON are savages, bandits and they should not be a part of Belarus society. Says let’s do something about it.
