Hundreds Unlawfully Arrested in Belarus

On July 3, 2011, plain-clothes KGB agents and police officers brutally arrested hundreds of people throughout Belarus merely because they had showed up on the streets and clapped their hands. Clapping of the hands is a part of the peaceful process that thousands of Belarusians are expressing these days to protest the regime of the Belarusian dictator, Alexander Lukashenko. On July 3rd, the official national holiday in Belarus, Lukashenko delivered a speech during the military parade. The speech was met with silence as hundreds of police officers and secret agents suppressed any attempts at hand clapping.
