Organizers of march in Minsk on Belarusian-Russian Unity Day invite rock musicians to play in concert to be staged in culmination of the event

The organizers of a march to be held in Minsk on April 2 on the occasion of Belarusian-Russian Unity Day have invited rock musicians to play in the “Rock for Freedom” concert that will be staged in culmination of the march.

As one of the organizers, former lawmaker Syarhey Skrabets, told BelaPAN, the concert will take place in Nations’ Freedom Park that adjoins Bangalore Square from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m.

“We invite all rock musicians who value the ideals of freedom and democracy to take part in this show,” Mr. Skrabets said. “Electric power and quality concert equipment will be available. Since the city government has given its permission for the march and the concert, we don’t expect any obstacles on the part of authorities.”

The Minsk City Executive Committee has allowed the march to run from the square in front of the National Academy of Sciences to Bangalore Square along Surhanava Street.

About 10 people took part in a similar demonstration last year. The organizers predict that up to 250 people will take part in the march this time.
