Silent protest actions are still held all over Belarus each
Wednesday. About 1,730 people were detained during the actions which took place
on 15, 22, 29 June and 3, 6 July. 980 of them were detained in Minsk.
The majority of the detainees were punished with arrests and fines. Some were
released from the police department after fingerprinting and warnings. Many
people were also beaten. This information is incomplete, as the Belarusian
courts are closed from the public and there are no complete lists of the
repressed people.
