“I will not say that there is some kind of disaster or the situation is too overstretched, but there are enough problems and there are enough questions that need to be solved,” BelTA quotes Lukashenka as saying.
He noted that the security forces should not beat the lying people.
“The only thing, I will ask both the minister and others: we are still Slavs, if a person has already fallen and lies, he should not be beaten. That is, there must be a certain brake, ”Lukashenka said.
According to him, about a hundred security forces were injured during the protests.
“Is this what the riot police or the police need it? Yes, they trained calmly, they lived in this barracks. But they went out to protect them (citizens), and they were in their back. With knives, sharpening, on the traffic police ... Well this is on purpose! We understand who is doing this, ”he added.
Earlier it was reported that Lukashenka held a meeting with members of the country's Security Council, which dealt with protests in the republic.
