epa08611086 Representative of Belarusian politician Viktor Babariko's campaign office Maria Kolesnikova (L), confidant of ex-presidential candidate Svetlana Tikhanovskaya Olga Kovalkova (C), lawyer Maxim Znak 92nd-R), coordinator of the strike of the Minsk Tractor Plant (MTZ) Sergei Dylevsky (R) attend a press conference of the Coordination Council of the Belarusian opposition in Minsk, Belarus, 18 August 2020. The Belarus opposition has called for a general strike from 17 August, a day after tens of thousands of demonstrators gathered in the capital Minsk in peaceful protest. Long-time president Lukashenko, in a defiant speech on 16 August, rejected calls to step down amid mounting pressure after unrest erupted in the country over alleged poll-rigging and police violence at protests following election results claiming that he had won a landslide victory in the 09 August elections.
