Over 100,000 march in Minsk threatening Lukashenko with nationwide strike should he refuse to step down
Belarusian riot police launched another violent crackdown in Minsk on Sunday evening, throwing stun grenades into crowds of peaceful protesters, chasing people through courtyards and making arrests as they attempted to curtail the 11th consecutive Sunday of protest in the country.
Earlier in the day, at least 100,000 people marched through the centre of the Belarusian capital to give what they dubbed a “people’s ultimatum” to Alexander Lukashenko: step down, or face a nationwide strike that could cripple the economy.
