Minsk, Aug 17 (TIWN) Opponents of Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko are set to gather in Minsk on Sunday for a second day of protests against the results of last week's disputed election, which were in favour of the incumbent leader.
The "March for Freedom" comes amid growing anger over alleged poll-rigging and police violence at subsequent protests, reports the BBC. The unrest erupted after Lukashenko claimed a landslide victory in last week's election, the result of which has been condemned amid widespread allegations of vote-rigging.
