Police cordons forced the demonstrators to change their route, and they detained dozens of them, according to the Viasna human rights center. Students and universities in general are a highly explosive group, Stefanovich said in a telephone interview. One protester, Tatyana Ivanova, said that students from the Minsk State Linguistics University ran into a campus building to avoid being detained, but police tracked them down there. The president bristled at the idea and alleged the opposition would wage a massacre on his allies if it takes power in Belarus.
