Masked Belarusian Authorities Detain Another Lukashenko Opponent

VOA News

   Unidentified Belarusian authorities have detained one of the two
   remaining free leaders of an opposition council amid continuing
   protests against longtime President Alexander Lukashenko following a
   disputed election.

   Attorney Maxim Znak was taken out of the Coordination Council's office
   on Wednesday by unknown people wearing ski masks, according to his
   associate, Gleb German.

   Znak's detention came as Lukashenko tries to end protests against him.
   German said Znak managed to text "masks" before his phone was seized.
