Belarus Protests Continue Amid Mass Arrests, Leak of Police Officer Data
------------------------------------------------------------------------

In Belarus, police arrested hundreds of women demonstrators on Saturday
as an estimated 100,000 people took to the streets of Minsk in the
latest protest demanding President Alexander Lukashenko resign following
his highly contested reelection last month. The protests came as hackers
leaked the names and personal details of over 1,000 Belarusian police
officers. Police and security forces have engaged in a violent crackdown
on demonstrations since the uprising began in August.
