This opinion was expressed by leader of the United Civil Party Anatol Liabedzka, who was detained near his home yesterday, ucpb.org reports.

“Policemen and riot police officers show clear signs of discontent with the economic and social situation. It's indicative that they themselves raise these themes and asked questions when talking to me,” Anatol Liabedzka said.
