Activists of the Belarusian Popular Front and the Movement for Freedom in Brest have said that they have distributed more than 11,000 copies of an information bulletins about the Chernobyl disaster.
Some 10,000 copies were reportedly dropped into mailboxes and more than 1000 were handed out to Brest residents on April 26.
Activists distributed the bulletin at marketplaces, at public transport stops, and near large stores in the Kavalyova neighborhood, where a large number of migrants from Chernobyl-affected areas reside.
"By this act, we wanted to draw the attention of the residents of the regional capital to the Chernobyl tragedy, to tell them the truth about the Chernobyl-related problems that are yet to be solved," Dzmitry Shymanski, chairman of the Brest city organization of the Belarusian Popular Front, told BelaPAN. "We were surprised to learn that many townspeople, especially youths, did not know when this terrible accident occurred and were unaware of the threat its consequences pose."
