The teddy bears carrying anti-government slogans that parachuted into Belarus earlier this month are still causing the KGB there a headache! The Swedes who claim to be responsible for the landings posted a two-part
video evidencing their foray into Belarusian territory, but the KBG are dismissing the raid as a western scheme to discredit their security services. Today the Lithuanian military also denied the possibility of the plane having flown to Belarus from Sweden, as it would have been intercepted in its trajectory over Lithuanian airspace.
Meanwhile, Anton Suryapin, a journalism student in Minsk is being held in custody for being an accomplice to the teddy bears. He was arrested on the 13th July for having posted photos of the bear-insurgents on his
blog.
The
Democracy Index ranks Belarus at 139 and lists it as an authoritarian regime. The president, Alexander Grigoryevich Lukashenko is considered by some as the last dictator in Europe. His repressive Soviet-style regime has earned him sanctions from the European Union.
With the Teddy bear army on the loose, here's a word of advice for President Lukashenko:
"If you go out in the woods today
You're sure of a big surprise.
If you go out in the woods today
You'd better go in disguise.
For every bear that ever there was
Will gather there for certain, because
Today's the day the teddy bears have their picnic."
We're right behind you Anton and gathering more recruits!
