Belarus: Tent Camp Demolished, Protesters Arrested

Riot police began their operation at 3 am Minsk time and after 15 minutes the camp was demolished and the protesters arrested. br23 blog and Rush-Mush have updates on the aftermath: the amazingly slanted coverage on the Russian-language EuroNews; Minsk residents’ approval of the regime's actions; a sample leaflet distributed by the opposition in Minsk now; translation of LJ user kurt-belaruspost-operation appeal; translation of one protester's account of the operation on Radio Liberty's Belarusian Service.
