The President of Belarus Banned Democratic Flags That Time
Belarus made the decision to outlaw democratic flags, with dire repercussions for anyone found flying one. People in the nation nevertheless managed to express their political opinions without formally breaching any laws in order to avoid that. Laundry needs to be hung and dried anyhow, so why not hang them in democratic colours to promote unity? If you truly think about it, the notion is brilliant.
The people of Belarus were inventive when it came to finding ways to irritate the authorities without breaching the law, using everything from bras and knickers to T-shirts and even umbrellas.
