Monuments’ mouths tied up as a sign of solidarity with journalists (photo)

Protest actions directed against the attack against independent journalists have been conducted by activists of “Independent Belarus” in Minsk. The young people who expressed their protest against the pressure exercised on independent journalists tied up the mouths of statutes and sculptures and used the following posters: “It is forbidden to tell the truth in Belarus”, “No pressure should be exercised on the independent press!” and “I don’t want independent websites to be closed!”
A similar action took place in Lutsk, Ukraine, reports a website “Freedom Fight”.

The Young European Federalists are also conducting an all-European action in support of the freedom of speech in Belarus these days. They are tying up statues’ mouths all over Europe to draw people’s attention to numerous violations of human rights in Belarus.
