On 25 March, the democratic circles of Belarus celebrate Freedom Day, commemorating the 108th anniversary of the declaration of independence of the People's Republic of Belarus. In today's Belarus, this holiday is not recognized.

As a sign of solidarity and support for the Belarusian people, initiatives are undertaken around the world to promote the white, red and white colors of the historical flag of Belarus adopted in 1918, when the Belarusian People's Republic declared independence.

As a sign of solidarity by symbolically joining the action, today (March 25) a white-red-white flag of Belarusians fighting for freedom was hung on the building of the Ełk City Hall.
