Belarusians seek justice for brutal beatings by riot police

Stories of abuse emerge as more than 7,000 people were detained after rigged election

Pavel Daroshka was one of thousands of Belarusians to be arrested by riot police on the thinnest of pretexts last week, and then fall into a nightmare of brutal and demeaning violence.

Now, he is determined to at least try to bring the men who beat him to justice, however unlikely it might be while President Alexander Lukashenko remains in charge of the country.
