Im there Richard Sennett welcome to the show Security Forces in belarus have detained some 250 demonstrators during bermuda mass protests in the capital mends at least 100000 are taking part in whats being dubbed the march of heroes masked agents and drag the demonstrators into police vans and authorities sealed off a Central Square with barbed wire the protests highlights the plight of those detained on suspicion of trying to overthrow the government ellerys has been rocked by daily antigovernment rallies since last months disputed president ial election. Your correspondent Nick Connolly is reporting for us from minsk take a protester as a keeping up with the pressure what does that look like today. Well that is the 1000000. 00 question how many people will do the test and get out today theres always the pressure on them to bring out more every week and it looks like the signs are good given the disappearance and attempted expulsion make a list of the last week youll remember she was abducted in broad daylight not home here in central maine then turned up at the Ukrainian Border where the authorities want to keep her out but mr bent that by ripping her possible and jumping out of a window. That is a backdrop to this weeks protests weve also heard from i got a look at telling his Security Services sometimes theres no time to comply with the law basically giving them caught last using any kinds of oppression legal and illegal to use put a lid on these protests but based on what weve seen in recent days this isnt working people are not scared they tell you time and time again there are just too many of us for them to put us all in prison wells want to talk about reactions to yesterdays violence against women who turned out to protest still think that will deter people from turning out today. I think there was certainly anger in recent weeks we have seen that here so its had been slightly more considerate towards women than to male protesters that means evidence of women standing between the authorities in the police and mail addresses of journalists who they would like to take trying to detain and be able to prevent arrest that way. So yes days before Months Overseas that is now over and they are willing to use the same amount of food stamps women as men but i dont think that comes a surprise to anyone especially given these incendiary. Intend. To use own Security Services i think this will just anger at people rather than creating great if they have people already have seen over the last month here disappearances beatings mass arrests that is nothing new so for now it doesnt seem like the right like the regime can surprise or even shock people with any of these techniques thats right nothing to this point has refused to meet with the bellary opposition as his forces step up arrests against that was running the country how does 6 the opposition proceed from here on out
