Crowds of protesters demanding an end to the rule of 'Europe's last dictator' clashed with police on the streets of Belarus last night. Protests came after President Alexander Lukashenko's landslide victory. Lukashenko, 65, has held office since 1994 and dismissed COVID as 'psychosis'.
Exits polls claimed Alexander Lukashenko had won a landslide victory to retain the presidency he has held since 1994.
Outraged opposition supporters came out in their thousands to demonstrate in disbelief that the repressive strongman had secured 79.7 per cent of the vote, according to the official figures.
Police fired stun grenades at the crowds of people who had taken to the streets of capital city Minsk.
Protesters clapped, honked their car horns and shouted 'victory' in solidarity with the opposition.
