The Political Activist Who’s Been to Jail 19 Times | Dictatorland
Ойын-сауық
Ben Zand travels to Belarus to experience the sinister and at times bizarre side to living in a dictatorship.
Ben goes to visit Pavel, a serial protester who at only 28 years old has already been to prison 19 times. Ben hears about his most famous protest, which saw him place teddy bears with pro-democracy slogans outside government buildings. Pavel was arrested, and when a Swedish organisation heard about the stunt, it decided to go even bigger: it flew a plane over Belarus and threw 1,000 teddies out of the window, with more slogans attached. Lukashenko was so terrified of the teddy bear invasion that he fired the head of his air force and expelled the Swedish ambassador.

Same thing with the monarchy in the UK I'm not saying the queen is bad or anything but just imagine if you had a bad monarch the Monarch owns the judicial system he or she can fire the prime minister the Monarch can fire the entire Australian government and other things that sounds like a little bit too much power for one person
Funny interesting video 😁
