#Belarus Instead of putting people inside a police station or detention centre, police and guards are forcing them to stand outside, in cold, hands up or behind their back. It’s been around nine hours of standing. New numbers: at least 913 people have been detained today. Insane pic.twitter.com/xb8M7f9R97

Culture wars should not be confused with the struggle for liberal democracy and rule of law in Central Europe. If it is, unfriendly actors like Russia may gain a foothold, @DaliborRohac and @LanceKokonos write. https://t.co/M9hAgNWKOR

My latest for piece on the current role of civil society in #Belarus, and what it will mean in the future. Alternative structures of society are being created at the moment. These structures will eventually take over the current dysfunctional politicshttps://t.co/NpZeDfMQsp

#Belarus Riot police are brutal again today. People are being forced to lie on the ground during detentions. Police and unidentified men are also targeting unarmed, peaceful protesters with weapons pic.twitter.com/pZtkPhrxms

The longer protests continue, the less people are scared of the police. People are chanting "go away" with their hands up right next to police #Belarus #StandWithBelarus pic.twitter.com/19b0dnUJlV

Drivers are blocking the streets - law enforcements can't get close to the column.
