Freedom Day (Belarus)
Freedom Day is an unofficial holiday in Belarus, which is celebrated on March 25 to commemorate the creation on that date in 1918 of the Belarusian People's Republic (BPR).
People and groups opposed to the current Belarusian government celebrate the holiday. The government does not, for the stated reason that the BPR was created by the Germans, who were occupying Belarus in 1918. Celebrations of the holiday are an annual occasion of demonstrations against the Belarusian government.
