MINSK -- At least 1,000 Belarusian activists have marched in the country's capital, Minsk, to mark the anniversary of the short-lived Belarusian Popular Republic, which existed in 1919.
Known as Freedom Day, participants in the annual event on March 25 held large white-red-white flags banned by government officials because of their association with Belarus's democratic opposition.
Marchers also sang Belarusian and Ukrainian songs, expressing support for Kyiv's efforts to stop Russian-backed separatists who control some parts of eastern Ukraine.
Some demonstrators held Ukrainian flags and posters saying "The Hague Tribunal for Putin!" and chanted "Putin is a fascist."
Minsk city authorities had disallowed the march in previous years when the procession ended with numerous arrests and trials.
There was no official comment on why the march was allowed to take place this year.
Minsk authorities only asked the march organizers to pay about a $1,000 fee and police urged participants not to cover their faces with scarves.
