The police in Belarus have continued to detain activists who can potentially stage an unauthorized demonstration on Freedom Day in Minsk. Uladzimir Nyaklyaeu, Yauhen Afnagel, Vyachaslau Siuchyk and several others were preventively detained two days ago. Activists in the regions were detained too. ЯAccording to Alena Talstaya on Facebook, police agents grabbed poet, activist and former political prisoner Slavamir Adamovichу in Marjina Horka. He was removed from a Minsk-bound commuter train to prevent him from joinging the celebrations of 100 years of Belarusian National Republic in Minsk. Adamovich was taken to a local police station.

Authorities in Minsk allowed only a rally and a concert near the Opera and Ballet Theater in Minsk beginning at 1300. No permit was issued for a street demonstration in the central streets of Belarusian capital.
