According to Euroradio, "plush troopers" have landed near the estate of the Reitans in Hrushauka (Liakhovichy district).

We remind that on July 4, 2012, Swedish pilots dropped over the territory of Belarus about a thousand teddy bears with slogans in support of freedom of speech.

Risking their lives, the employees of the Swedish advertising agency Studio Total Tomas Mazetti, Per Cromwell and Hannah Frei flew into Europe's last dictatorship to support independent journalists persecuted there.

The fearlessness of the Swedes shocked the world. At any moment, their small light-engine plane could have been shot down. Fortunately, the flight was successful. The desperate daredevils dropped over Minsk and Ivianets hundreds of teddy bears with notes "In support of freedom of speech in Belarus".

The Swedish pilots won the National Human Rights Charter'97 Award for 2012.
