Women demonstrate in Minsk to support of arrested protestors

Description

Minsk (Belarus), 12 Aug (EFE/EPA), (Camera: Tatyana Zenkovich).- Post-electoral protests continue in Belarus but are losing strength after the exile of the unified opposition candidate, Svetlana Tijanovskaya, and the harsh repression of demonstrations by the security forces. The demonstrations have mobilised the country's women, who have seen in them a chance to make their voices heard, which were silenced during the years of Lukashenko's rule. On Wednesday, hundreds of women formed human chains in different neighbourhoods of Minsk to express their solidarity with the demonstrators arrested during the three days of protest following the elections.
