June, 19 was the last day to hold pre-election pickets and collect signatures for this or that wannabe presidential candidate. However, the Belarusian police detained peaceful protesters throughout the country. In the Belarusian capital, picketers formed a human chain of several kilometres; people took to the streets in different parts of Minsk; many chanted ‘Set them free’, remembering Lukashenka’s might-have-been opponent Viktar Babaryka, popular blogger Syarhei Tsikhanouski, politicians Mikalai Statkevich and Pavel Seyarynets, as well as dozens of people who have been placed into custody since the beginning of the 2020 election campaign.

Last Friday, a solidarity picket also took place in the Belarusian town of Maladzechna (Minsk region). When riot policemen were trying to grab one of the picketers, other participants, including Pyaskou, fought him off. The video of the the skirmish appeared on the Internet.
