epa08612564 Belarus women hold letters forming a sign reading 'Release!' during their protest against police brutality and the presidential election results in front of the Committee for State Security (KGB) building in Minsk, Belarus, 19 August 2020. 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/STR
