Women of Belarus never give up. At this moment, several hundred women gathered at the Freedom Square to participate in Women's March. Famous Nina Bahinskaya is also here. Police came, detentions started
Riot police in green uniforms without insignia and in black masks began detaining people. Women stand together and protect each other.
You can see that women are getting more organized. When they face police, they create the human chain (called сцепка in Russian), which makes difficult for attackers to catch people one by one. Also, women are screaming, which has a paralyzing effect on the police. 
Unprecedented brutal detentions in Minsk. Dozens of women were detained. The exact figure is yet unknown. Svetlana Tikhanovskkaya urged riot police to stop and threatened with punishment for carrying out criminal orders.
Lukashenka's security services behave like criminal gangs. I don't want to compare to Germany of the 1930s but it's getting close to it. People are trying to rip off masks. Seemingly, they are afraid of being identified.
Last week was one of the toughest for Belarus uprising. Extraordinary violence, hundreds (if not thousands) detained. Police began beating women as well. Despite all that, women still gathered and began marching. Unprecedented bravery and solidarity.
