KURAPATY MEMORIAL VANDALIZED

Unidentified perpetrators have again vandalized the memorial in Kurapaty, the site of mass graves where the victims of the Soviet executions were buried, a student who visited Kurapaty this morning told the European Radio for Belarus.
"It looks like a large scale act of vandalizm, something that has not happened for a long time. The huge cross "To Martyrs of Belarus", which stands at the entrance to the site, has been brought down. The inscription board has been removed from the stone. Yet another cross has been danaged," the student said.

It appears that the vandals visited the site on Sunday. On Saturday, people were cleaning up the area and the cross were not damaged.
