Yeah, that's a violation of the freedom of movement, which is a human right.
There are a lot of reasons why people might want to end up without having a house, e.g. domestic abuse, scams, poverty, etc. To really solve homelessness, you need to tackle these issues. You need safety nets, you need to ensure better living standards, etc.
What Łukašenka's regime does is it makes the homeless people disappear. It makes them invisible, in any way possible.
But by doing this, it just hides the symptoms and does nothing to address the underlying the problems.
> The idea of "parasite fee" was objected heavily but you see how brilliantly it worked.
It has not. The government had to basically scrap the idea, and ended up with doing that thing with different gas/water prices it's doing now.
Also, the protests against the so-called "parasite" fees were a major factor in the future protests: people saw the protest against the "parasite" fee succeeding, and this certainly motivated a lot of us to go to protest in 2020.

No.
