From Minsk, reports of protesters injured by rubber bullets
Belarusian opposition media have reported that at least some of their participants have been injured in mass protests that have become traditional this Sunday, with protesters firing cannonballs at OMON units.
Witnesses to the events told Interfax that several sound grenade attacks had been carried out in the Orlovsk district of Minsk. Several protesters immediately sought medical attention, including a girl injured in the leg and also an injured man, as well as a man wounded in the abdomen.
According to the protesters, OMON used rubber bullets against the protesters.
Opposition Telegram reports that security forces fired several series of rubber bullets at the protesters and killed them.
The Belarusian Interior Ministry confirmed to Interfax that the security forces had used special measures, without specifying which ones were specific.
Opposition leader Sviatlana Cichanouskaya, who lives in Lithuania, issued an ultimatum to Lukashenko two weeks ago, demanding his resignation, an end to the violence and the release of political prisoners. She says that mass strikes will start on Monday if Lukashenko does not meet the requirements.
