Belarusians Build 13-Kilometer Human Chain. Protesters Say Lukashenko Continues Stalin's Tyranny
Belarusian anti-government demonstrations continue. Tens of thousands of people formed a 13-kilometre-long human chain in the capital, Minsk, on Friday (Aug 21) local time, demanding that Belarus President Aleksandr Lukashenko cease the use of violence against the people, conduct a search for missing protesters and step down.
During the human chain event, many people on the streets held the victory sign and the flag of Belarus.
The Human Chain Begins at a Former Soviet Purge Site
The human chain began in Kurapaty, an area in the outskirts of Minsk with much historical significance. In the 1930s, the former Soviet secret police persecuted as many as 300,000 people in the area. The event was revealed in the late 1980s and became one of causes for the popular uprising against the communist regime.
At the other end of the human chain was Akrescina, where the Lukashenko regime imprisoned protestors. According to the organizers, the choice of Kurapaty and Akrescina as the beginning and the end of the human chain was to show that Stalin's and Lukashenko's crimes were one and the same.
