Belarus: Football fans jailed for anti-Putin chant
BBC News from Elsewhere... ^ | 10 October 2014

Posted on 10/10/2014 7:53:23 AM PDT by FreeReign

A court in the Belarusian capital Minsk has jailed eight Ukrainian football fans after they sang an insulting song about Russian President Vladimir Putin.

One man was sent to prison for 10 days for possessing fascist symbols. Seven others were jailed for five days for using obscene language.

They had joined in anti-Putin chants and songs at the Euro 2016 qualifier between Ukraine and Belarus.

A number of Belarusian fans were also convicted and fined.

Both local and visiting fans at the Euro 2016 qualifier between Ukraine and Belarus in Borisov came together in a rousing rendition of a well-known song - which has became a popular expression of opposition to Putin in Ukraine, the Belarusian paper Nasha Niva reports.

Belarusian fans are also heard voicing their solidarity with their Ukrainian counterparts by chanting the signature slogan of the Maidan protests in Kiev - Slava Ukrayini ("Glory to Ukraine").

The Ukrainians return the favour by chanting Zhyve Belarus ("Long live Belarus").

I don’t think I said it:) And even if I would, isn’t it that 13 y.o. do?:) Forget about it, ansel. Let’s consider I’m a cook.

So now you are denying that you that you are in Special Operations, and specifically the FSB?

Is that what you are telling us?

Let’s say so, you don’t have a sense for irony, ansel. And does it really matter?

Say so?

Say what that now you are telling us that you are not Special Operations and are not in the FSB.

Are you also telling us that you are not in the Russian military or government service?

You once said I’m a cook. I won’t argue your definition. Enough said. I won’t post to this thread anymore because all of it is pretty much off-topic.

You once played the game you are playing here, and portrayed yourself as a cook in the FSB in the mocking tone you use in place of honesty.

Is that what you are saying right now, that you are a cook in the FSB?

See post #25. But I actually remember discussion you are referring to. AFAIK it was you who ‘fond out’ I’m a cook with them and you also was so pushy that I still can’t object:)

No, you are making that up, you were posting like you were drunk, and started your evasiveness, and got into the cooking thing, the same way you got into the 13 year old thing on this thread.

I never said you were a cook, but I will say that you are the most dishonest poster here, but since propaganda is the reason you signed up, that is pretty much your role.

I don’t drink. And I can say for certain that propaganda is not my profession.

I never said that propaganda was your profession.

Just that you signed up here as an active duty
Russian soldier to post on the threads about your army invading Ukraine.
