Opposition activists stage commemorative procession to Kurapaty
Some 700 people, mostly opposition activists, took part in a commemorative procession in Minsk on Sunday to honor the memory of the victims of the Stalinist terror on the occasion of Dzyady (Remembrance of Ancestors Day).
Participants, who included Alyaksandr Milinkevich, leader of the Movement for Freedom, and leaders of the Conservative Christian Party, the Belarusian Popular Front, Malady Front and the Belarusian Christian Democracy party, gathered near the Minsk Watch Plant and then marched to Kurapaty, a Stalin-era massacre site just outside Minsk, displaying historically national white-red-white flags and carrying new memorial wooden crosses to be put up at Kurapaty.
The procession had been authorized by the Minsk city government and traffic police officers assisted the marchers in safely crossing roads at intersections on their way.
The march ended with a commemorative rally at Kurapaty, where dozens of thousands of people are believed to have been executed and buried by the NKVD in the pre-WWII years. //BelaPAN
