A tribute to Belarus rebels

Post Gazette: "As anti-government protests engulf Egypt, a revolt of a quieter kind is playing out in Pittsburgh and other cities.
These dissidents are from Belarus, formerly part of the U.S.S.R., and now a hard-line dictatorship led by Alexander Lukashenko since 1994.
Mr. Lukashenko fears these rebels so much he's had them arrested, fired from jobs and beaten, and has threatened their families.
Their crime? They're actors, members of the Belarus Free Theater.
