At 8 a.m. on 6 June Belarusians
of London held a flash mob against the death penalty. They reminded
that in Belarus bodies of death convicts aren't issued to their
relatives, but burried in an undisclosed location.
The action
"Give The Body Back!" reminds a place of a terrorist act.
People lie on the asphalt in bags for corpses near police cars.
The
flashmob was organized by "Free Belarus Now". "In such
a way we shed light on the hundreds of people who have "disappeared
" or were executed. Living bodies will lie still in the packages
– return the body before it becomes a corpse," is stated at
the campaign's
website.
Belarus is the only European country in which
the death penalty still exists.
