Despite the ban on the demonstration, there were tens of thousands on the streets of Minsk and other Belarusian cities.

Despite warnings from the authorities, tens of thousands of people took to the streets of Minsk again to demand the departure of President Alexander Lukashenko.

Human rights activist Ales Byalyatski, director of a human rights organization called Vyasna, said the number of participants exceeded 100,000.

According to images on social media, the authorities withdrew in armored vehicles and detained several people. Authorities warned people to stay home and not participate in a march called “The March of Unity” by the opposition.

There were also protests outside Minsk. A video uploaded by a protester from the city of Grodno shows uniforms rushing towards the protesters, and there have also been reports of tear gas being fired.

According to a non-governmental organization called Vyasna, the police have arrested at least a hundred people in Minsk, and the number of arrests they are aware of exceeds 200 across the country.

According to the Russian news agency Interfax, several people in the capital were injured when the police began to disperse the protesters at one of the state-owned tractor factories.

Opposition presidential candidate Svyatlana Cihanouszkaya, who was forced to leave her homeland in August, told protesters in Lithuania not to be intimidated. “Remember: we are strong together,” he said.
