Belarus braces for mass protests as Lukashenko orders army to defend nation Posted: 23 Aug 2020 04:17 AM PDT The emboldened opposition has called for massive demonstrations on Sunday to pressure Belarus' authoritarian leader into resigning after more than two weeks of historic protests against his disputed re-election. Europe's longest serving leader, Alexander Lukashenko, dispatched his notorious riot police to disperse spontaneous rallies that erupted after he claimed a sixth presidential term in August 9 elections that Western leaders have said were rigged. Solidarity rallies were also scheduled in neighbouring Lithuania, where demonstrators planned to form a human chain from Vilnius to the border with Belarus, 31 years after residents of the Baltic states joined hands and linked their capital cities in a mass protest against Soviet rule. The EU has rejected the results of the presidential elections and this week promised to sanction Belarusians responsible for ballot fraud and a police crackdown that saw nearly 7,000 arrested and sparked gruesome allegations of torture and abuse in police custody.
