In the evening of 5 November members of the unregistered “Zubr” movement were hanging a transparent with the words “Lukashenka lost!” on the railway bridge not far from Miasnikow Square in order to remind people about the real results of the referendum. Representatives of the Russian bureau of the French TV channel TF1 decided to film it. When they were doing it, two persons in plain clothes came up to them. They took away the journalists’ documents and told them to stop filming. Then they were taken to Minsk Savetski Borough Board of Internal Affairs. The “Zubr” members weren’t detained.
