Belarus police disperse protesters near Stalin-era execution site

Police in Belarus disperse protesters who were marching from central Minsk to a Stalin-era execution site in the latest of weeks of demonstrations against strongman Alexander Lukashenko’s disputed reelection.

Loud bangs and gunfire are heard, with police seen chasing protesters in a field not far from the Kuropaty site, a wooded area on the outskirts of Minsk where thousands of people were executed during Stalin’s purges.
