Belarusians Build 13-Kilometer Human Chain. Protesters Say Lukashenko Continues Stalin's Tyranny
Belarusian anti-government demonstrations continue. Tens of thousands of people formed a 13-kilometre-long human chain in the capital, Minsk, on Friday (Aug 21) local time, demanding that Belarus President Aleksandr Lukashenko cease the use of violence against the people, conduct a search for missing protesters and step down.
During the human chain event, many people on the streets held the victory sign and the flag of Belarus.
The Human Chain Begins at a Former Soviet Purge Site
The human chain began in Kurapaty, an area in the outskirts of Minsk with much historical significance. In the 1930s, the former Soviet secret police persecuted as many as 300,000 people in the area. The event was revealed in the late 1980s and became one of causes for the popular uprising against the communist regime.
At the other end of the human chain was Akrescina, where the Lukashenko regime imprisoned protestors. According to the organizers, the choice of Kurapaty and Akrescina as the beginning and the end of the human chain was to show that Stalin's and Lukashenko's crimes were one and the same.

UN Refugee Agency in Hong Kong Refuses to Accept Petition Letter from Local Church in Support of Belarus
After the Belarusian presidential election on August 9, Lukashenko, the five-term president, was 'elected' again, which immediately triggered demonstrations against his rigged election win and police violence. The protests in Belarus found resonance in Hong Kong.
Reverend Roy Chan of Hong Kong's Good Neighbour Northern District Church petitioned to the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees office, handing in 800 signatures calling for the UN's attention to the political oppression in Belarus.
The petition letter requested the Belarusian government to release all protesters, withdraw prosecutions, and immediately run a fair presidential election. The petition also asked the EU and the UN to step up their intervention to ensure the re-election of the president.
Reverend Chan expressed grave dissatisfaction and regret that the UN refugee agency did not accept his petition letter. Chan pointed out that what is happening in Belarusian are not new to Hong Kong people.

Belarus Bans 50 News Websites, Lukashenko Inspects Border and Accuses NATO of Splitting up the Country
As anti-government protests in Belarus continue, more than 50 news media websites have been blocked by the local authority. On the other hand, Belarus President Alexander Lukashenko, donning military fatigues, inspected Grodno, a town near Belarus's borders with Poland, and accused the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) of attempts to split up Belarus. NATO refuted his claim and said that it served only to divert the people’s attention from their discontent. US Deputy Secretary of State Stephen Biegun will visit Lithuania and Russia shortly to discuss issues related to Belarus.
Lukashenko claimed that NATO attempted to split up Belarus and replace him with a new president. He also said that as Poland and Lithuania were ready to take action, he had to deploy troops to the western border and order his defence minister to take "the most stringent measures to protect the territorial integrity of the country.”
NATO denied the allegations, stating that "NATO poses no threat to Belarus or any other country and has no military buildup in the region" and that "Our posture is strictly defensive". It accused Lukashenko's government of employing a fictitious narrative of foreign threat to shift the public's attention away from its discontent towards the government and the election.

Belarusian Authorities said opposition attempts to seize power harm national security; Opposition leader calls citizens to stand up, or become a slave
After the Belarusian presidential election in early August, mass demonstrations broke out, with citizens forming human chains to protest against tyrannical rule. The opposition announced the establishment of a Coordination Committee earlier, requesting the government to discuss the transfer of power. The Belarusian General Prosecutor’s Office then charged the Committee on 20th August with suspicion of endangering national security.
The opposition announced the establishment of the Coordination Committee on 18th August, calling for government talks on the transfer of power. Members include Svetlana Tikhanovskaya, an opposition leader exiled to Lithuania, Nobel Laureate in Literature Svetlana Alexievich, and other famous individuals. The authorities accused the Coordination Committee of jeopardising national security and has now launched a criminal investigation. Attorney General Konyuk noted that the establishment and operation of the Coordination Committee was to seize state power, and emphasized that the transfer of power to the Coordination Committee is unconstitutional. Committee lawyer Maxim Znak and organiser of Minsk factory strikes Sergei Dylevsky were questioned by the government on 21st August.
Svetlana Tikhanovskaya accepted an exclusive interview with the Britain Broadcasting Company (BBC), appealing to Belarusians to "stand till the end", and oppose the tyrannical rule of President Lukashenko. “If not now, we will be slaves”. She said that as long as her personal safety is ensured, she will return to the country. In a video speech earlier, she also called for Belarusians to be fearless and to escalate strike actions.
US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said earlier that the United State supports the international community in investigating the possibility of fraud in the Belarusian election, and will consider sanctions against Belarusian officials who participated in suppressing demonstrations. Russian President Putin said that any interference in the situation in Belarus or pressure on local leaders is unacceptable.

University students open school strike and demonstrate to against Lukashenko; police arrested violently
On the first school day in Belarus, a large number of university students demonstrated in Minsk along the Independence Avenue and gathered in the Victory Square to stand against the president, Alexander Lukashenko, who has been in power for 26 years. Police arrived to violently disperse the students, without mentioning about the number of arrests.
On Sundays in the past three weeks, there were 100-200 thousands of people that demonstrated for the police brutality and Lukashenko’s manipulation of the election. On Tuesday, the first school day, thousands of millions of university students went on strike and protested on the streets. Many people held the old Belarusian ‘White, red, white’ flag that is used by the opposition.
Students told BBC that the purpose of going to the street is to support people and express their political positions. They said they should be fearless and not just to stay at home. The BBC filmed when the riot police attacked and forcibly arrested a group of students which gathered near Victory Square. Someone kneeled to the police and demanded to release the students as they are just kids. Some students tried to block the entrances of several universities to prevent the police from entering. BBC pointed out that two Belarusian journalists were among the arrested. The police subsequently admitted that they had arrested students, but decline to tell the exact number. Since the president election on 9th August, there are continuously protests that oppose Lukashenko across Belarus. It is popularly believed that the election result is manipulated. The EU and United States have refused to recognise the result, believing that the election is neither free nor fair.
Lukashenko insisted that he got millions of supports from Belarusians. He stated that he did not hope the country to be seen divided; the state-run Berta News Agency quoted Lukashenko saying that if there are ‘alternative forces’ coming to power, there will be “massacre that is worse than that in Ukraine”. When Lukashenko visited a university in western Belarus, he urged the elderly to explain to the young generations the difficulties the country has overcome over the years. Earlier before this, several national media stated that protesters had been treated in an inhumane way after the election. The authorities apologised for the violent suppression and inhuman actions, but recently began to suppress the protestors again. Maria Kolesnikova, one of the main opposition figures in Belarus, announced on Tuesday that she will form a new party called “Together”. She stated that Belarus is now in a political, social, and economic crisis. “Only when we stand together will we know how to get out of the crisis,” Kolesnikova tried to enter the presidential palace to talk with Lukashenko at a rally in the Capital last Sunday but was told that Lukashenko will not negotiate with them.

Non-binding Bill Passed - The EU Parliament Will Not Recognise Lukashenko as Belarus President after November
The European Parliament passed a non-binding motion with a majority vote yesterday (17 Sep) that the parliament will no longer recognise Alexander Lukashenko as Belarus President after November, urging the European Union (EU) to impose economic sanctions on him. The Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe will also investigate this presidential election. Lukashenko announced that some borders with Poland and Lithuania will be closed, and the border troops are on high alert.
Lukashenko’s current term will expire in November. He will be re-elected as the next president that month because he won the general election. However, the local opposition and many people believed that Lukashenko was involved in fraud in the election, which triggered a series of demonstrations and deportation of many opposition leaders. Maria Kolesnikova, the only female opposition leader who stayed in the country, was charged with incitement to undermine national security yesterday (17 Sep).
