Ice Cream Lovers Descend on Minsk, Threaten Lukashenko Regime!

Yesterday, democracy activists, wielding ice cream cones, besieged October Square in Minsk in the latest in a series of flash mobs aimed at undermining the legitimacy of the Lukashenko regime through comedy.

The uppity security services, catching wind of the disturbance, swooped in and dispersed the mob, arresting five in the process reports AFN.

Belarusian democracy bloggers are buzzing over their success. "It’s amazing that because of ice cream people were arrested,” said sovereigh. “The whole world will be laughing.”

Litota has provided a nice gallery of her photos from the event.

couple of corrections:

not Lolita but Litota (it is not an anagram :)
“The whole word will be laughing.” I think you wanted to say "world"

Thank you for you work!

How extremely cool with these flash mobs! I have been following this phenomenon recently, and think its a good way of ridiculing Belarusian authorities. I mean, what are they going to say: "Oh, so you stand loitering here, eating icecream in protest of our great leader..?"
