Protesters marched through the city center.

In Brest, more than 300 people took part in the traditional Sunday protest against the battery plant, Charter97.org correspondent from Brest reports.

According to the human rights activist Uladzimir Vialichkin, at first about 200 people came to the square to feed pigeons. The participants discussed the stoppage of the truck near Kobryn, the resignation of Deputy Minister of Nature Iya Malkina and the work of the battery plant. According to the official information, the company is in the process of setting up the plant, but the activists claim that it is a full-fledged production, which is already polluting the environment, Brestskaya Hazeta reports.
