Free press knocked out
Yesterday police arrested 200,000 copies of newspaper “Tovarish” which contained Milinkevich’s election programme. Newspaper was printed in Russia and was brought to Belarus in a truck. When journalists were unloading the newspaper stacks into a private garage, a “vigilant” guard from that parking lot called the police to report “the crime.” They arrived in a matter of minutes and arrested the cargo.
Also yesterday another independent newspaper was closed down by the court, because of Danish cartoons. The name of the banned newspaper is “Zhoda” (Zgoda).
Virtually all channels of independent information are closed down now.

Belarus. You. You Alone. This is A Personal Decision. Decide without Fear.
Will you take action in the square? Will you demand the freedom that your brothers and sisters in Europe enjoy?
Bring small weapons and arms. Be peaceful at all costs. But, defend yourself if force is used against you. The threat of violence against you has been made.
Demand better for yourself. Demand freedoms of all kind.
Be brave. Take peaceful action. Go Now.
