The regime of Belarusian dictator Alexander Lukashenko continues to “tighten the screws”. In addition to political repression against its own citizens, security forces began to detain people for jokes about shoes.

Belarusian human rights activists write about this.

It recently became known that the Zhodino manufacturer of quarry dump trucks BelAZ released boots that are very reminiscent of the famous Timberland. But the secret was quickly revealed: they are sewn in China and have the BelAZ logo. As a result, the price is significantly lower than the original and is 121 Belarusian rubles (37 dollars or 1525 UAH). This is approximately 10 times less than the cost of American Timberlands on marketplaces.

According to human rights activists, one of the BelAZ plant workers created a chat where he cheerfully discussed the new enterprise. The security forces responded to this with arrests.
