Belarusian opposition leader Maria Kolesnikova and aides of jailed opposition politician Viktor Babaryko say they are forming a new political party they call Together.
– The country is in a political and socio-economic crisis and together we know how to get out of this crisis … Soon we will present the documentation required for registration (by the party), says Kolesnikova in a video publication.
In Belarus, there have been widespread protests since the disputed elections on August 9, which the opposition and much of the world condemned as rigged. The protesters are demanding the resignation of President Alexander Lukashenko, among others.
