epa08606794 Supporters of Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko shout and wave national flags during a rally in Minsk, Belarus, 16 August 2020. Long-time President Lukashenko is under mounting pressure after unrest erupted in Belarus over alleged poll-rigging and police violence at protests following election results claiming that he won a landslide victory in the 09 August elections. As unrest continued in the country as of 15 August, Lukashenko sought the help of Russian President Vladimir Putin asking assistance in the event of external military threats to Belarus, media reported. Opposition leader Tikhanovskaya fled to Lithuania after rejecting the election results she claimed was rigged. Following the deathly crackdown on protesters, EU foreign ministers, during a video conference in Brussels on 14 August, approved sanctions against responsible officials in Belarus. EPA/TATYANA ZENKOVICH Decine di migliaia di cittadini bielorussi stanno partecipando alla grande “Marcia per la Libertà” indetta contro il Presidente Alexander Lukashenko.
Le proteste sono iniziate circa una settimana fa e questo sembrerebbe essere il più grande concentramento di persone. I manifestanti radunati in piazza Minsk hanno percorso Viale Indipendenza gridando “Vattene” nei confronti dell’attuale Capo di Stato.
Contestualmente si sta svolgendo anche una marcia a favore di Lukashenko.
