The largest
anti-Government protests since last week's disputed elections have been taking
place in Belarus. It’s estimated that
100,000 people have taken to the streets demanding that President Alexander
Lukashenko steps down.
President
Lukashenko, who’s been in power for 26 years, has claimed the country is under
threat from foreign forces and is refusing to step down.
His
opponents accuse him of rigging the presidential election and unleashing a
violent crackdown against protesters and political opponents.
