Maria Kolesnikova

Near the National Art Museum, Maria Kolesnikova was put into a minibus and taken in an unknown direction. A video of the incident filmed by a car dashcam was also published online.

The footage was shared by Belarusian opposition resources. Journalists say it was provided to them by the press service of the Coordination Council.

Maria Kolesnikova, Svetlana Tikhanovskaya and Veronika Tsepkalo became the leaders and faces of the Belarusian opposition. Kolesnikova is the only one of them who remained in Belarus.
