Although the links I've stored up for a post over the past couple of days seem dated now, I'll run through a few of them anyway.
BelaPAN news agency had a thorough photo essay from the short-lived "Minsk Maidan" a couple of days ago. Blogging from Belarus, LJ user tormozoid also had some photos. His most recent post says the following, in simple, bold type (my translation):
All those who dispered the tent city, and especially those who gave the orders, will burn in hell.Hard to argue with that.
American bloggers were covering the story (that second link is especially good reading), and there will no doubt be more comment on the night's events when the US wakes up. David McDuff at A Step At a Time has a post up already about the tent city's demise, exhorting us all to "blog till it hurts" in order to keep the story in the news. And Sean had a thought-provoking post digesting the Guardian's take on Lukashenka and the West's alleged hypocrisy in their approach to the Belarus elections.
Veronica has been doing double duty, covering events at Neeka's Backlog and also on Global Voices Online.
And finally, courtesy of the man behind U Fanni Kaplan, a link from megablog Boing Boing to a rather troubling pro-Lukashenka pop song (including a video).
