Minsk: Tens of thousands of Belarusians joined an anti-government demonstration in central Minsk Sunday to protest President Alexander Lukashenko's claim to a sixth term in disputed elections, an AFP journalist said.
Waving red-and-white opposition flags, protesters demanded Lukashenko's resignation and chanted "freedom", in a gathering that local media reported on Telegram channels had amassed crowds of more than 100,000 people.
