Kurapaty standoff: Dashkevich says tents near restaurant not feasible | euroradio.fm

Activists
should not put up tents near the restaurant 'Poedem, Poedim' situated
on the Kurapaty memorial in Minsk's suburbs because it is not feasible, Zmicier Dashkevich said in a video stream on Facebook.


Tents near Kurapaty will not yield a good result because few people
will be able to participate in this struggle, Dashkevich reckons. “Maybe
a dozen people will stay there for a few weeks but the number will be
decreasing with time,” he said.


The activist suggested two other forms of protest. Firstly, an
economic boycott can be started. Journalists have found out who the
owner of the restaurant is and it would be worth boycotting their
businesses, Dashkevich said.


He also suggested exercising moral pressure on visitors and employees
of the restaurant: leaflets containing information about Kurapaty
should be given out.


“Kurapaty is a sacred place, you cannot do one thing today and
something else tomorrow," Dashkevich argues. He also suggests that
activists should take stock of their resources before organizing the
defense of Kurapaty.


Pavel Sevyarynts detained by the police yesterday evening has already been released, Dashkevich said.
