Today, minskers sheltered protesters fleeing from “law enforcement officers” in their apartments. How many pairs of shoes do you see in the video?
A TUT.by reader found a shell of a rubber bullet "Barrier" on the ground.

According to her, she found the shell behind her back - on the dam on Niamiha.

“Thank God the guy ran away, but they didn't hit us,” she writes.
Perhaps the record for the number of detainees will be broken today. At about 9 pm, the list of the human rights center “Viasna” already contained 684 names, and this is not all. Relatives of detainees continued to gather near the metropolitan police department. There is the entrance to the Moscow district police station in the photo. At the moment of the photo, the policeman read out the names from the list.

MORE BELARUSIANS JOIN THE STRIKE

On November 9, two people from BelAZ, the first two from their plant, join the strike: a welder Oleg Sosnitsky and a milling machine operator Sergei Valentyukevich.

The statements they filed with the plant's director list their demands: the retirement of Alexander Lukashenka, honest elections, the release of the political prisoners, and stopping police brutality. Valentyukevich also demanded that two department heads who pressure workers be fired.

Three more people joined the strike at Belaruskali - electrician Maxim Danilevich and repairmen Sergei Rozhko and Dmitry Bykov.

Activists at Hrodna Azot, supported by the “Honest People” initiative, are gathering applications from those who would like to join the strike but are afraid to do it publicly because there are few people currently participating. The applications can be sent via a chatbot, the deadline is November 10. If there are 500 or more applications, the strike committee representatives will contact those who sent them. Otherwise, the applications will be deleted forever.

Another person joining the strike is Elena Davydova, a bacteriologist from Homiel. (Back in August, she put forward her presidential candidacy in protest but wasn't registered and faced pressure from the police.)
