It’s not only Warsaw or Stockholm. Last week a dozen Belarusians staged a protest in front of the Belarus’ embassy in Washington, DC. They were joined by a Congressman Thaddeus McCotter (MI-R). An acquiantance sent me a few photos from the protest:

The British “Times” published a nice article about it:

“It is a sobering fact that in Belarus, only 1,000 miles from London, the leader of a regime suspected of making his opponents disappear is almost certainly about to get “re-elected”… This incongruity grows even more unfathomable when you meet President Alexander Lukashenko’s perfectly reasonable opponents, who recently launched an international day of protest that is held every month on the 16th and spread to the Belarusian embassy in Washington last week.”
