Ever since Alexander Lukashenko declared himself the winner of the questionable presidential election in Belarus on August 9, major popular protests have alternated.

As recently as yesterday, about a hundred protesters were arrested in Minsk after new protests.

At a Swedish time, new demonstrations are expected, people all over Belarus will take to the streets to demand new, democratic elections and that the regime releases the thousands of people arrested during the previous protests.

In Minsk, more than 100,000 people will march towards the Grozdy district, a district where many civil servants live and where Lukashenko himself has a house, says Elin Jönsson.

- It is very tense here - the police block off streets and set up roadblocks so that people can not get around, she says.

Police in riot gear stormed a rally on Friday, removing hundreds of protesters by truck

The police are armed with water cannons, among other things, but the protesters are not looking for trouble.

- You do not break any rules, you do not break any windows.

They do not even go against red men for not provoking any violence, says Elin Jönsson.

Opposition leader Svetlana Tichanovskaya, who fled to neighboring Lithuania after the election, said in a statement ahead of today's demonstrations:

-Today's protest march is dedicated to all the heroes who continue the fight.

Let us show the regime that we are a peaceful people who do not acknowledge violence and lies.

I am sure that everyone who is for a change will go out in today's march.
