Posted @withregram • @dwnews Belarus: Protesters keep up pressure on Lukashenko
Tens of thousands of protesters, once again, marched through the Belarusian capital city Minsk, demanding an end to President Alexander Lukashenko's rule.
Hundreds of police and army were out in force to try and stop the so-called March of Justice going ahead. Videos shared by local media outlets showed security forces in helmets or masks hauling protesters off the streets. Authorities had closed metro stations and mobile internet services were down in an attempt to stop the demonstrators.
It was the sixth Sunday in a row that the March of Justice has gone ahead. Protests first broke out in the former Soviet republic after Lukashenko claimed a landslide victory in a presidential election on August 9. His opponents and much of the international community have rejected the result.
