"Illegal in presidential election" Victims killed in protest demonstrations by Belarus August 12, 12:12
In the former Soviet Union of Belarus, a protest demonstration by an anti-government party that a large-scale injustice took place in the presidential election held on September 9 was followed by a casualty in a collision with security forces. It is expected that the tension will increase.
In Belarus, the presidential election was held on the 9th of this month, and the provisional voting results show that the current president, Lukashenko, has a 80% vote, and the housewife who received the opposition, 10%, is a housewife.
However, supporters of the anti-government group began protest demonstrations in various places after the 9th, claiming that there was dishonestness in the election, including a large-scale alteration.
In the capital city of Minsk, opposition supporters began to gather in the center around 7:00 pm local time on the 10th, building a barricade on the main street, calling for President Lukashenko's resignation and fair elections. On the other hand, security forces used a rubber bullet and a tear bomb to suppress it, causing a violent collision.
According to the Ministry of Home Affairs in Belarus, approximately 3,000 people have been detained nationwide so far, and one demonstrator was confirmed dead at midnight on the 10th.
"I have no idea how long we can endure," said an injured man who participated in a protest demonstration, which is expected to increase tension.
