Babrujsk dweller Lubou Sankevich continues hunger strike in Minsk for the sixth day. Minsk authorities allowed her to hold pickets every day until July 4 at Bangalore Square in Minsk.
By this protest the woman wants to attract attention of the public, mass media and Alyaksandr Lukashenka to her struggle which lasts for five years.

Lubou Sankevich demands reinstatement in her job place and fair investigation.
A year and a half ago she carried out a hunger strike and a protest in Minsk, but she had not been granted meeting with Alyaksandr Lukashenka. The meeting with the head of state is the main objective of her action she had started today.
Every day Lubou Sankevich puts up posters “Stop looting of people!”, “Give me back my job, lost in struggle for justice” and “I’m waiting for president’s reception” on the square.
