“Tell the Truth” demands that police wear uniform: “At least, you know you won't be killed”
During the
Monday press-conference in Minsk the social activists read their
address to the Chamber of Representatives, the Council of Ministers
and the head of the public council under the Ministry of Internal
Affairs Henadz Davydzka.
Pavel Vinahradau, a leader of the
youth wing of “Tell the Truth”, “Zmena”, stated the
following: “It makes little difference personally for me! But I
look at the situation from the viewpoint of an ordinary man,
irrespective of his being an activist he will at least feel fear.
And it's stressful for him: some strange people grab him and
push into a car. And if you see that these are policemen, then you
can expect them to act within the law, whereas bandits will not do
it. At least, you know you won't be killed."
However, the
oppositionists have little hope that the MPs and the Council of
Ministers will react to their demands.
