alexander lukashenko had won a landslide 80 percent of the vote lucas main challenger says the vote was rigged and has claimed victory for herself. the leaders of belarus see these demonstrations as a threat to their authority in minsk and other cities tens of thousands showed their support for the opposition on election night even though according to official figures their main candidate won only 9.9 percent of the vote. then the situation escalated security forces attempted to disperse the demonstrators using stun grenades water cannons and rubber bullets almost 100 people were injured in the clashes authorities say they made more than 3000 arrests that challenged at 1st things were peaceful people walked in the chamber there were a lot of them then police vans came and started to arrest them. there were a lot of people with weapons they started shooting at people's arms and legs

despite reportedly winning less than 10 percent of the vote opposition candidates fenlon a teacher not sky it claimed victory and she called on president lukashenko to step down. we authorities should think about how they can peacefully hand over power to us. right. now so far they have only responded with violence against peaceful citizens. and she denounced the election as illegitimate. we have official reports from many polling stations that i received more votes than the other candidates. we have proof of photo fraud. we have people who are ready to come forward about fraud at polling stations. or evidence that is allegedly circulating on the internet this video purports to show a woman climbing out of a polling station with banks claimed to be filled with ballot papers. it was

incumbent lucas shanker the official winner with nearly 80 percent of the vote said the protests are being organized from abroad. to work these sheep are being directed by people in the czech republic to the opposition understands nothing new and is urging people to take to the streets in order to i quote hold negotiations with the government so that it voluntarily hands over power lust but handing over power is something lucas shango has categorically ruled out you are joining me now is the journalist and analysts from. good to have you on the program the election commission says that. about 80 percent of the vote that was the big surprise to most of us but do you think that result is credible. it is not and i would say election saw stop to be elections 2 weeks ago when

government didn't allow any observation at the stations and they did not invite her foreign observers and they arrest that almost all in the and the observers for the early vote in 5 days before that they of voting was extremely popular in terms of falsification they put 43 percent of voters participated in the early voting center and we can say that this this number the official results announced by the commission have anything in common with true numbers it's a definitely can get from 20 to 30 percent of support but not more and all the clashes of the process we are observing the right now they are sparked by by this result because people understand that they are chiefly. there we know that people are taking to the streets tonight a 2nd night to protest the election results what do you make of the heavy handed

news that we're seeing by the police. extreme extreme violence absolutely this proportional violence used by only a soldier a lot of soldiers internal troops may be peopled wounded to day police use grenades stun grenades but also they used a rubber rubber bullet some journalists are wounded journalists with nash and you know for example now i was in the hospital sure her lack was wounded with with with a gun so we also know that some some people are in critical condition unfortunately we don't have connection with many cities and we don't know what's what's happening there in some state is that the question is are more violent like and manes particularly in some suggest the real police did not attack protesters and somehow so you dare i say that. within what this is all mean for the opposition is still

the opposition have been the choice but to accept the election results as it's been in males by the government through a wants to whom alleviate opposition and to show that the opposition is nothing opposition doesn't have any influence and that woman the leader if you need 5 a position to come to expect any presidency soon this is why the question gave her a solo number in the official products and this is why the question and now is that he will never give her power or to come mosca that's a very important moment because if you can those who will support protests that are happening right now they will they can become much broader and much bigger but also they can become much more violent and so this is a very important moment what what will be hurtful solutions to go to streets or to continue protests and by legal means unfortunately i think all legal means r r r r over already you know it will be interesting to see what happens moving forward.
