MINSK (Reuters) - Belarusian police detained about 700 people on a fourth night of protests following President Alexander Lukasheko's contested election victory, the former Soviet republic's interior ministry said on Thursday.

 

Security forces have clashed daily with protesters since Lukashenko claimed a landslide re-election victory in a vote on Sunday that his opponents say was rigged.

At least 2 people were killed and at least 1 severily injured.

Lukashenko's armed forces shoot people with traumatic weapons and there are unconfirmed reports of using combat weapons.

People in the US should be paying attention to this, for obvious reasons.

This guy could end up like Nicolae Ceaușescu in 1989, the people are turning against him and a general strike will be next.
