People gather to commemorate Roman Bondarenko, an anti-government protester who died in hospital following what witnesses said was a severe beating by security forces, on the fortieth day after his death in Minsk, Russia, Monday, Dec. 21, 2020, with a photo of him on the pole with the words "do not forget". Authorities have cracked down hard on the largely peaceful demonstrations, the biggest of which attracted up to 200,000 people. (AP Photo)
