Masked agents today (Wednesday) dragged students from the streets of Minsk and put them in vehicles, with continued protests against Belarusian ruler Alexander Lukashenko entering its fourth week.
Minsk police said 30 people had been arrested for participating in unauthorized demonstrations.
The students, wrapped in opposition flags, demonstrated in several places in the capital, including outside the Government Institute for Linguistics Studies in Minsk, where five people were arrested yesterday.
According to documentation on the news site TUT.BY, masked men dragged students who were demonstrating at the entrance to Karl Marx Street in central Minsk, with some protesters shouting "Tribunal."
Later, thousands of women marched on the streets of the capital, shouting, among other things, "Take your hands off the children."
Student demonstrations began as early as Tuesday, with the start of the new school year.

Lukashenko, who is struggling to stem the wave of mass protests that has erupted since the controversial election early last month, is gaining Russian support.
After over the last few months he underestimated the corona plague as a “craze” that can be solved through drinking vodka and bathing in saunas, today he accused the protesters of spreading the virus.
"We are rocking the streets, rubbing against each other," he said at a government meeting broadcast on television.
"Where is the social distance and all that? We are doing everything to postpone the moment when we can say goodbye to this disease. It is not acceptable."

Lukashenko recently said he himself carried the virus but did not suffer from symptoms.
His treatment of the plague was one of the factors that led to an unprecedented unrest against those who have ruled with an iron fist in Belarus for the past 26 years, earning him the nickname the last dictator of Europe.
He denies winning the election thanks to widespread forgeries, but these have been exposed by polling station workers.
