Photo by @hoffmanbrendan / @prime_collective for @aljazeeraamerica | Maksim Piakarski shows off his patriotic Belarusian tattoo; last summer, in this very apartment, he and a friend were rather surprised when a SWAT team lowered themselves on ropes from the roof and burst through the window as others broke down the front door. Their offense? Spray painting "the Revolution of Consciousness is already happening" and "Belarus must be Belarusian" in Belarusian on some abandoned buildings in the center of Minsk. Charged with hooliganism, they're facing up to six years in prison. More at http://alj.am/qabc @sabraayres #minsk #belarus #минск #беларусь (at Минск)
