Belarus has been holding massive protests for two months against the results of the presidential elections on August 9. The current president, Lukashenko, who has held this position since 1994, was officially declared the winner of the elections.

On August 18, the opposition, which did not recognize the results of the vote, created a Coordination Council with the aim of handing over power in the run-up to new elections.

Minsk considers the council unconstitutional and several of its members have been detained on suspicion of threatening national security.

Even before the elections, V. Babaryka, the former head of Belgazprombank, who had tried to defy Lukashenko, was arrested for alleged economic crimes.

Belarusian human rights defenders have recognized the detainees as political prisoners.
