The people of Belarus have been blowing my mind.
Thousands in Belarus turned out for the funeral of Roman Bondarenko. The 31-year-old military vet and teacher died after allegedly being beaten by plainclothes security officers during a protest against the country's authoritarian leader Alexander Lukashenko.
