Women in Minsk jail

I translated a paragraph from an account from here. Mind you, these were peaceful protesters, not "freedom fighters".

Constantly, slogans "Zhive Belarus" (long live Belarus) are heard. As far as we can tell, in this detention facility on Skoina Street there are about 70 women. Fortunately, we the adults, were with our girls and stopped them from being humiliated. We don't know what's going to happen tomorrow (court!), and where they'll put us. But I'd like to hope that the worst humiliation is over: 3-hour standing out in the freezing cold, facing the wall, on Okrestina; brutally beating our men in front of us; not being told where we were being taken; undressing to our panties during personal inspection.
