The first ‘silent protest’ actions was held on June 1, 2011.
People gathered in the centres of their cities every Wednesday throughout the whole summer 2011.
This became known as the ‘silent protests’ as no slogans were voiced: the participants just walked around and applauded. However, everyone understood the main demand of Lukashenka’s resignation.
The ‘silent protest’ actions occurred in the middle of the severe economic downturn and brought hope.
However, the reaction of the authorities was extremely harsh. Riot police detained hundreds of people every Wednesday.
All-Belarusian involvement became the main peculiarity of the ‘silent protests.’
