epa08612562 Actors of the Kuplovsky theater and friends attend a rally to support their strike as a protest against the discharge of theater director Pavel Latushko in Minsk, Belarus, 19 August 2020. Pavel Latushko became member of the Coordination Council of the Belarusian opposition organized in Minsk, 18 August 2020, and was fired. The Belarusian 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. Opposition leader Tikhanovskaya fled to Lithuania after rejecting the election result she claimed was rigged. EPA/YAUHEN YERCHAK
