The telephones, including mobile ones, were cut off at 7 p.m. Only mobile phones of the monitors from Minsk started working at this moment, but nobody knows for how long. The local phones do not operate at all. There is no communication with Gomel, Grodno, Vitebsk and Mogilyov. The web-side and e-mail of the IO were disconnected in the daytime. So the authorities hinder the independent votes count, which results van reveal the outrageous amount of falsifications by the authorities.
