Second European games, which are upcoming in Minsk in next month, will be a real holiday for Belarusians. They will bring us:
– cleansing the streets from stray animals (e.g. elimination)
– more police control
– blocking of the independent websites
– mass arrests of civil activists,
– preventive arrests of criminalized folks (prostitutes, homeless people, Roma people)
Here’s my article explaining how Belarusian government is preparing for this event: trying to literally destroy all disobedience inside of the country and in the same time to present itself as a safe space for foreigners.
