December 19, the Foreign Ministry of Belarus announced about the attack on the embassy in London. The authorities also say that a group of radicals attacked the Belarusian diplomats, one of whom was seriously beaten. He even needed the help of doctors.
The media said that the attackers damaged the facade of the embassy building and later attacked the diplomats. The victim of the radicals was hospitalized with a broken nose, a slight concussion and a broken tooth.
After committing the crime, the perpetrators tried to flee from the arriving police, but the Diplomatic Police of London was able to detain some of them. The perpetrators are believed to be members of the radical émigré group Nadzeya.
It soon became known that on Sunday afternoon, December 19, first there was a picket outside the Belarusian embassy about the events of 2020*, and in the evening the embassy was thrown eggs.
“This attempt of reprisal, committed against persons, who on duty protect the interests of Belarusian citizens and work for the improvement of interstate relations, once again shows the true face and methods of action of fanatics, whom some Western countries persistently try to pass off as peaceful protesters”, – stressed the Foreign Ministry.
After the radicals attacked the Belarusian embassy, the British chargé d’affaires a.i. was summoned, and the authorities demanded that the British law enforcement bring the perpetrators to justice.
*”Nadzeya” is supposedly a “radical emigrant group,” some of whose constituents attacked the embassy.
