Nearly 150 people on Sunday gathered in Freedom Square near the Holy Spirit Cathedral in central Minsk in protest to the removal of the crosses at the Stalin-era mass execution victoms' memorial in Kurapaty. The demonstrators held a prayer led by a priest.
A prominent opposition activist, Mikalai Statkevich, was detained before the protest.
