According to anonymous information from the police, the Mahiliou authorities intend to increase the number of riot policemen in the city by 150 people. In 2010, the battalion of the riot police consisted of about 200 people.

Human rights defender Uladzimir Krauchanka points that according to his information officers of secret services were ordered to prevent the situation that happened in Livia, Alger and Egypt. “The KGB must attentively watch the public moods and use any means to prevent the mass disturbances which can shake Belarus,” he said. “It means that we are quite a rich state, because the maintenance of law-enforcement officers is quite expensive. Secondly, I would like to say that the authorities are in the state of a panic fear and follow the principle that it's better to take excessive security measures than insufficient ones. Earlier there was a riot policemen per each democratic activist in Mahiliou, now there will be two of them,” he added.
