Protesters in Belarus faced repression on Sunday, as security forces reportedly fired warning shots to stop demonstrators from gathering.
It was the 13th Sunday in a row that anti-government protesters gathered since Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko won a contested election.
The opposition has rejected the outcome as fraudulent and considers its leader, Sviatlana Tsikhanouskaya, to be the actual winner of the vote.
Large crowds reportedly gathered in eastern Minsk and headed toward Kurapaty, a wooded area on the outskirts of the capital, where over 200,000 people were executed during Stalinist-era purges.
Protesters carried banners with slogans such as "The people's memory (lasts) longer than a life of a dictatorship'' and "Stop torturing your people!'' connecting Stalin's brutal era with life under Lukashenko. On the video you can see the streets being lined with uniformed people in riot gear facing protesters. More than 240 detentions took place, including of journalists on the scene.
