FEMEN activists managed to escape.
Ukrainian activists held the place of the action in secret. They spread information about the rally on social networks. Journalists knew about the rally, but secret services were too slow to react. Trying to prevent thwarting the performance, Ukrainian activists said they had given up an idea of coming to Minsk and would hold a rally in Kyiv. As it turned out, they had audacious plans.
Tatstsyana Haurylchyk says that they are being kept in the building of KGB. They are waiting for specialists who will delete their photo and video materials.
