YOUTH GROUPS PROTEST MINSK BELTWAY EXPANSION TO STALIN-ERA MASSACRE SITE



Dozens of activists from the Youth Front and the European Way organizations are continuing protests outside Minsk against the expansion of the Minsk beltway to Kurapaty, the site where tens of thousands were executed and buried by the NKVD in the 1930s, Belapan reported on 25 September. Youth Front activists put up eight wooden crosses in an attempt to stop construction workers from moving closer to the massacre site. The Youth Front told the agency that police officers and regional-level officials often visit the site, saying they have "an order" to proceed with the construction project. "Those who executed people by shooting 60 years ago also carried out orders," Youth Front said in a statement. (RFE/RL Newsline, September 26, 2001)
