For more than a month there have been unprecedented protests in Belarus over the presidential elections on August 9, which were declared the winners by Lukashenko, who has led the country since 1994. The opposition and the West consider these elections to be rigged.

According to the official election results, Lukashenko supported 80.1% of the votes, while the opposition candidate Sviatlana Cichanouskaya received 10.12% of the votes.

Two days after the elections, S. Cichanouskaja, under pressure from the government, left Lithuania. On August 18, its members of the Coordination Council called for a peaceful transfer of power and a new election. Minsk considers the institutions to be unconstitutional.

According to Cichanouskaya, at least seven people died and dozens disappeared due to violence used by security forces in anti-government demonstrations.

The European Union has previously approved plans to impose sanctions on those responsible for the violence in Belarus. The US State Department has also announced that it is preparing to impose sanctions on Minsk and is consulting with the EU on this.
