Minsk, Sep 9 (TIWN) Belarusian opposition leader Maria Kolesnikova has reportedly been detained at the country's border with Ukraine a day after she was reported missing, a state-media report on Tuesday.
Belarus says Maria Kolesnikova was detained while trying to cross into Ukraine in the early hours of Tuesday.
But Ukrainian reports say she tore up her passport to prevent expulsion as two colleagues were forced to leave.
She is one of three women who joined forces to challenge President Alexander Lukashenko in August's election.
Mass protests erupted after election authorities awarded Mr Lukashenko victory amid allegations of vote-rigging. The main opposition figure, Svetlana Tikhanovskaya, says she won 60-70% of the vote, where voters were properly counted.
