Tens of Thousands Rally in Belarus, Call for Lukashenko to Resign

VOA News

   Tens of thousands of people rallied in the Belarus capital Sunday and
   called for President Alexander Lukashenko to resign after disputed
   election results, a postelection crackdown, and a heavy military
   presence in the city.

   Protesters, many wearing and waving the opposition's colors of red and
   white, chanted "freedom" and "we will not forget, we will not forgive"
   as they walked in the Minsk city center. They briefly gathered near the
   president's residence before dispersing peacefully.
