1 | Belarus: Police Crack Down on Minsk Protest | Belarosia: Famoretan'ny Mpitandro Filaminana Ny Androm-Panoherana Tao Minsk |
2 | A non-violent rally in Minsk, organized via Vkontakte, a Russian social network popular in Belarus and other former Soviet states, ended up with more than 450 people detained. | Ny famoriam-bahoaka am-pahatoniana tao Minsk, izay nokarakaraina tamin'ny alalan'ny Vkontakte, tambajotra sosialy Rosianina iray malaza ao Belarosia sy firenena Sovietika hafa teo aloha, dia niafara tamin'ny fisamborana olona maherin'ny 450. |
3 | Arrests, trials and numerous detentions, however, do not appear to have stopped the protesters. | Ireo fisamborana, fampiakarana fitsarana sy fihazonana am-ponja faobe, na izany aza, dia toa tsy manakivy ireo mpanao fihetsiketsehana akory. |
4 | Non-violent rally organized online | Famoriana am-pilaminana nokarakaraina tamin'ny aterineto |
5 | The day chosen for the rally was June 22, 2011, 19:00 (dubbed with a Twitter hashtag #2206v1900). | Ny andron'ny 22 Jona 2011 tamin'ny 7ora alina no nosafidiana hanaovana ny fihetsiketsehana (nankalazaina tamin'ny tenifototra #2206v1900 tao amin'ny Twitter ). |
6 | So, #Minsk? | Ka ahoana, #Minsk? |
7 | How about having it like this? - June 22, 2011, photo of the rally by Anton Motolko at Twitpic | Ahoana no fomba ahazoana ny tahaka izao? -22 Jona 2011, sarin'ny hetsika nalian'i Anton Motolko, ao amin'ny Twitpic. |
8 | Several Vkontakte groups were set up in order to organize the protest actions; “Movement of the Future” [ru] was the most popular one, with nearly 214,000 members. | Fikambanana Vkontakte maro no nitsangana mba handrindràna ny hetsika atao; “Hetsika hoan'ny hoavy” [ru] no iray isan'ny tena nalaza, izay nanakaiky ny 214,000 no mpikambana. |
9 | The police, however, not only prosecuted the groups' moderators, but were also inviting [ru] ordinary members (those they could find) to ‘preventive conversations,' during which they tried to discourage people from participating in the rallies. | Kanefa ny polisy, tsy vitan'ny hoe nanenjika fotsiny ireo mpandrindra ny vondrona, fa niantso [ru] ihany koa mpikambana tsotra toy ny mahazatra (ireo izay hitan-dry zareo) mba hifandinika ho fisorohana, ka nandritra izany no niezahan-dry zareo nanakiviana ny olona tsy handray anjara amin'ilay famoriam-bahoaka. |
10 | The government goes online as well | Mirotsaka ao amin'ny aterineto ihany koa ny fitondram-panjakana |
11 | The Belarusian regime, in addition to using violence, censorship, and prosecution, chose not to ignore Twitter as well. | Ny fitondrana Belarosiana, ho fanampin'ny fampiasana herisetra, ny sivana, ary fiampangàna, dia nisafidy ny tsy hanao tsinontsinona ny Twitter ihany koa. |
12 | Back in April 2011, the Belarusian Ministry of the Interior launched [ru] its @mvd_by [ru] account, and the Minsk Police Department (@GUVD_Minsk [ru]) followed suit. | Tany amin'ny Aprily 2011, ny Minisitry ny Atitany Belarosiana dia nanomboka [ru] nampiasa ireo kaonty @mvd_by [ru], ary ny Departemantan'ny Polisin'i Minskt (@GUVD_Minsk [ru]) no nanaraka. |
13 | Throughout the rally, both accounts were tweeting actively, discouraging those planning to participate, arguing [ru] that any Internet-organized revolution was in direct violation of the Belarusian laws. | Nandritra ny fihetsiketsehana, tena navitrika tamin'ny fandefasana bitsika ireo kaonty roa ireo, nanakivy iureo nikasa handray anjara amin'ny hetsika, nandresy lahatra [ru] fa ny hetsi-panovàna karakaraina amin'ny aterineto dia fandikàna tsotra izao ny lalàna Belarosiana. |
14 | @GUVD_Minsk directly addressed (and probably promoted) [ru] its nemesis: | @GUVD_Minsk[ru] dia nitanisa (sady angamba nankalaza tena) mivantana ny valin'adiny: |
15 | #1. Anyone who is going to “the square,” please pay attention to @InternetRevolt - he is openly inciting you, but it will be you who will be held responsible! | #1. Aoka hitandrina amin'ny @fandrisihan'ny Aterineto izay rehetra hamonjy ilay “kianja” - mandrisika anao izy, nefa avy eo ianao ihany no ho voatàna ho tompon'antoka! |
16 | In particular, the Ministry warned people about possible administrative charges for participating in unsanctioned protests, advised them against trying to film the events with their cell phones and engaging with police officers, and suggested that everyone bring their passports along. | Singanina manokana amin'izany ny fampitandremana nataon'ny Ministra ny vahoaka mikasika ny mety hisian'ny fanameloana izay mandray anjara amin'ilay fikomiana tsy nahazoana alalàna, manoro hevitra azy ireo tsy haka sary ny fihetsiketsehana amin'ny alalan'ny finday sy tsy hila raharaha amin'ny Polisy, ary koa nanentana ny rehetra mba hitondra Pasipaoro hatrany. |
17 | The authorities' Twitter recommendations, however, have failed to keep the people from joining the protests. | Toa tsy nahatàna ny olona tsy hamonjy ilay fihetsiketsehana akory ny fanambaràna nataon'ny fitondram-panjakana tao amin'ny Twitter. |
18 | The coverage of #22o6v1900 | Ny fandrakofana ny #22o6v1900 |
19 | According to Reuters, nearly 1,000 people gathered for the June 22 rally in Minsk. | Araka ny nambaran'ny Reuters, efa ho 1000 ny vahoaka voaangona tamin'ny famoriana tao Minsk tamin'ny 22 Jona. |

23 | The rallies were covered by many bloggers and online media. | Mpitoraka bilaogy sy mpilaza vaovao marobe amin'ny Aterineto no nandrakotra ilay famoriana. |
24 | Among the most popular photo reports were those made by Minsk-based Anton Motolko (@motolko [ru]), euroradio.by [ru]. | Isan'ireo tatitra an-tsary malaza nalefa tao ny avy amin'i Anton Motolko avy ao Minsk (@motolko [ru]), euroradio.by [ru]. |
25 | Blogger toxaby published [ru] posts showing special police units seizing activists. | Toxaby, mpitoraka bilaogy nanaparitaka [ru] lahatsoratra nampiseho ireo sampana manokana ao amin'ny polisy nisambotra ireo mpanao fihetsiketsehana. |
26 | He emphasized that the police had violated the Belarusian penal code, and translated the relevant article of the penal code into several languages. | Nanantitrantitra izy fa nandika ny lalàna velona ao Belarosia ny Polisy, ary namadika tamin'ny karazanà fiteny maro ilay lalàna mahakasika izany. |

29 | “The beginning of the end”? | “Ny fiantombohan'ny farany”? |
30 | In a lengthy post, Pyotr Kuznetsov, the coordinator of “For the Freedom” movement, explained [ru] the significance of the non-violent rally held on June 22: | Tao aminà lahatsoratra lava be iray ny mpandrindra ny tolona “Ho an'ny Fahafahana” no nanazava [ru] ny dikan'ilay famoriam-bahoaka am-pahatoniana natao ny 22 Jona: |
31 | First, the authorities weren't ready for such a turn of events, they were unable to propose (or to impose?) their own scenario, and that's why they are in limbo, still unsure of how to behave. […] | Voalohany aloha, tsy nampoizin'ny fitondram-panjakana ny fivadiky ny toe-draharaha toy izao, tsy vitany ny nanolotra (na nanery) ny tetikadiny manokana, ary izay no nahatonga azy ireo hiataka, mbola misalasala ny amin'ny fihetsika tokony hataony. […] |
32 | Second, the regime obviously doesn't have enough physical resources to suppress a nationwide movement, and this is also a strategic trump card of the unsatisfied people. | Faharoa manaraka izany, hita mazava fa tsy ampy ny herim-pamoretan'ny fitondram-panjakana hifehezany ny fipariahan'ny fihetsiketsehana manerana ny firenena, ary izany no tena tetika mahombin'ireo mpanao fihetsiketsehana tsy afa-po. |
33 | And, third, by using the contemporary means of communication and socialization, the organizers of the action have put the government and the special services into a position of losers by default: the KGB agents simply cannot forestall the lightning-fast informational impact of the Internet. | Fahatelo farany, napetrak'ireo mpikarakara ny hetsika tamin'ny toeran'ny resy ho azy ny Governemanta sy ny sampan-draharahany manokana tamin'ny fampiasana ireo fitaovam-pifandraisana sy fifaneraserana sosialy amin'izao fotoana: Tsy vitan'ireo olon'ny KGB ny hifehy ny hafainganan'ny fiantraikan'ny vaovao nentin'ny Aterineto. |
34 | My own Facebook friend, Volia Ch., explained the situation much more succinctly: | Ny namako Volia Ch., tao amin'ny Facebook ihany, no nanazava ny toe-draharaha tamin'ny fomba tsotra sady fohy: |
