On the first video, video begins with the arrest of a person taken by force by two masked police officers to a police van. There were a total of 4 vans (2 blue, one white) on the scene. A gunshot was also fired. In addition to the vans, there was also a large brown truck. Tear gas was also used.

At the beginning of the video, many people rush up to a blue-coloured van with OMON officers in it. The demonstrators, some of them holding white and red balloons, attempted to free detained demonstrators. However, the demonstrators were violently pushed back by the masked officers and the detainee was finally pushed inside the van with license plate ‘6057 MM-4’.

Seven OMON agents, wearing helmets and carrying truncheons, conducted detentions of two civilians on the ground. While the agents were handling a man, they pulled out a minor girl and dragged her in an unknown direction. She resisted, but they pulled her by arms. Female off-screen voice demand OMON to let a child go.

About thirty people (mostly very young men and women) sought shelter from a thunderstorm at the entrance of the theatre. In a few seconds, the crowd became restless and people started to leave the place. Suddenly, while many young people were still at the entrance, a dozen OMON agents attacked them. The first one, wearing a mask, kicked a youth in front of him very hard causing him to fall. The agent then tied his hands behind his back.

Seven people were talking quietly. Two of them held white-red flags. A police truck with ID 2415 was parked nearby. Two other people with the white-red flags over their shoulders were detained and escorted to the police truck. A police officer approached to one of them – a male with the flag and invited him to proceed to the police truck where other detainees with protest attributes were waiting. Then, they took another male protester. An off-screen woman voice asked the policemen a permission to keep the flag and bring it home, to what he refused. When she repeated her inquiry, he threatened her with detention and eventually snatched the flag. The off-screen voice comments “Now, there are two of us left here.”

This video demonstrates the brutal detention of a civilian in Hantsevichi on June 20, 2020. A young man was brutally detained by four policemen. As he resisted, the policemen pulled him by his arms and back until he fell to the ground. Other men tried to help him out to no success.

Three policemen wearing all-black uniforms ran towards a driving car. They apprehended the driver, tackled him face down to the ground, twisted his arms behind. Then two of them lifted the victim off the ground and forced him to the unknown direction. The driver did not resist. One of the agents went into the car.

Four officers in black uniforms threw a motorcyclist off the motorbike and repeatedly hit him with truncheons. A group of soldiers (about eleven men) in military-like khaki uniforms came to the scene. Later a police officer joined them as well. They forced the victim on the ground to tie his wrists.

A dark minivan with riot policemen arrived to the spot next to a cafe where a group of carelessly resting men was chatting. The riot policemen jumped out of the van and attacked the victims. They first attacked those standing around the bench. They punched them, beat them up, twisted their arms and pushed the victims into the car. One of the victims kept quietly sitting observing the detentions and seemed to be unnoticed initially. However, he was thrown on the ground and forced into the car as well. There were two men in plain clothes present at the incident who seemed to be in command.

The cut together of the events during the protest on September 6, 2020.

A young man dressed in dark civil clothes was waiting at the entrance of a residential building. When a couple (‘victims’) exited the building, the man attacked them. He punched the male victim in the neck. All three entered a scuffle. The female victim defended her friend. Three men, also in dark civil clothes, came to help the assaulter. They eventually managed to twist victims’ arms behind and forced them into the black Mitsubishi Pajero with the license plate ‘1233 IC-1’ (Brest). Bystanders demanded assaulter to let the victims go, to what they responded that they were from the police.
