Alexander Lukashenko allowed the Belarusian military to open fire on the citizens of the country. They also received the green light to use military weapons and special equipment on civilians.

This is evidenced by the decree that the self-proclaimed President of Belarus issued the day before . The corresponding document also allows the country's military personnel to use physical force against civilians.

It is interesting that hitting and opening fire can be done taking into account the circumstances, the nature of the crime or administrative offense. Also, the military must take into account the identity of the perpetrator in accordance with the requirements of combined arms regulations.

First they will warn

Study of the relevant document made it clear that a person against whom “physical force, special means, combat and special equipment” can be used should be informed that this may happen.And that the military must give it time so that it can comply with the requirements of the law.

At the same time, exceptions are outlined when “delay creates a direct threat to the life of the military personnel or other citizens or may lead to other serious consequences.”

Please note that the legislation of Belarus previously provided for liability for military personnel, established legal acts. She would have expected them in the event of the use of physical force, special means, weapons, combat and special equipment.

Now the changes made to the law on state security agencies have literally given the military a free hand. They gave the green light for the use of weapons against both women, children and people with disabilities in “cases of armed resistance, armed or group attack, or other actions, threatening the life or health of people.”

Repressions in Belarus are gaining momentum

Please note that during the last period repressions in Belarus have increased significantly. Of course, they never stopped, but now they have become especially tough. This was stated by Deputy Head of the United Transitional Cabinet of Belarus Pavel Latushko. He noted that over the past week there were more than 200 arrests.

According to him, Lukashenko took on family members of political prisoners, as well as people who gave them food and other essentials in prison.

Criminal cases are brought against them for purchasing products. They believe that this is financing extremist activities. That is, you bought bread and sausage and gave it to political prisoners – and financed extremism. Real obscurantism,” said Latushko.

He added that in Belarus 27 people were sentenced over the past week for participating in protests in 2020.
