Videos show how masked Belarusian police arrest protesters who are out in government-critical protests that have been going on for over a month in Minsk, among other places.

Eyewitnesses have told how the police use force against the protesters in an attempt to stop the protests.

In connection with the demonstrations, the police are disguised and wearing helmets.

During last week's demonstrations, police arrested about 100 women.

Today, new demonstrations have been held and about ten people have been arrested, according to official figures.

Hackers have now leaked personal data from 1,000 police officers in Belarus on the Telegram messaging service after a cyber attack by anonymous people.

"We will continue to leak large amounts of data on a large-scale level as long as the arrests continue," it said in an anonymous statement published by the opposition-critical news channel Nexta Live.

"No one should be anonymous"

"No one can count on it being anonymous, not even under a balaclava (headdress)," the statement said.

The Belarusian regime responds that it will look for and punish those responsible for the leak that spread on the encrypted app Telegram.

- Funds and the technology we have will make it possible to identify and prosecute the majority who are guilty of having leaked personal information on the internet, says Olga Chemodanova, spokesperson for the Belarusian Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

The UN is worried

Thousands of protesters have been detained during protests in Belarus.

In connection with the demonstrations, the police are masked and wearing helmets.

In connection with the latest demonstrations, the police arrested about 100 women.

In early September, a group of UN experts received several reports of torture and ill-treatment, describing developments in Belarus as "very worrying".

The UN has demanded that the country stop the violence and torture against the protesters.

The experts then wrote that even 6,700 people had been detained in recent weeks, among them a number of journalists.

"We are very concerned that there have been hundreds of allegations of torture and other forms of ill-treatment by the police," they wrote in the statement.
