At a rough estimate, about 100,000 people might have taken part in Sunday’s March of Honour in Minsk.

To prevent the columns of protesters from getting united, siloviki resorted to excessive force: they were grabbing and battering even passers-by, not only participants in the rally. They started detaining people shortly before the start of the march; water cannons, tear gas and flashbang grenades were used against demonstrators. Moreover, rubber and paintball bullets were fired at a number of protesters.
