Minsk. Thousands came to commemorate Aliaksandr Taraikouski who was shot dead by riot police on the night of August 10. For many people, he is a hero.
Thousands are chanting: "Sve-ta! Sve-ta!" (Sviatlana Tsikhanouskaya).
The rally was joined by famous artists, public figures. People who never attended political rallies also came today. Cars are honking. More people are joining the rally.
The rallies are taking place all over the country today. People are chanting: "Freedom!", "Go Away!" "We believe! We can! We will win". Many did bring Belarus historical white-red-white flags prohibited by the current regime.
Belarusian bikers also supported the protest. Actions of solidarity and protests are taking place across the country. They have various forms: bikers ride, women's march, human chain. But the main protest is scheduled for tomorrow at 14:00.
Authorities continue denying that he was shot. However, all open-source investigations indicate that.
The march in Brest has gathered thousands of peaceful protesters.
The huge rally did take place today in front of the state TV. Many employees of the State TV channel publicly supported the democratic protests and announced the strike starting on Monday. The propaganda machine is collapsing.
"BT [Belarus Television] - show blood and tortures of our kids", "Akrescina [detention center] - Auschwitz", "Go away!".

Many employees and also TV anchors and celebrities joined the rally.
During the protest, riot police and army barricaded inside of State TV Building. Employees leaving the building today said that they don't want to lie anymore. The regime that was looking unbreakable a few months ago crumbles.
