A protest rally in Minsk on September 6 gathered around 100,000 people. At night, the mass arrests of the participants of the march began.
Mass actions in Belarus have been taking place since August 9. The protesters believe that the results of the presidential elections were falsified. According to official data, the current president of the country, Alexander Lukashenko, won with 80.1% of the voters. Opposition candidate Svetlana Tikhanovskaya came in second with 10.1% of the vote. At the same time, alternative exit polls showed the opposite picture: Tikhanovskaya’s confident victory.
The Belarusian security forces violently dispersed the demonstrations, in particular with the use of stun grenades, rubber bullets and water cannons. According to official figures, killed four protesters.
