BELARUSIAN OPPOSITION MARKS LUKASHENKAS DECADE IN POWER

Around 4,000 Belarusians gathered on 21 July at a demonstration in Minsk to mark the 10th anniversary of President Alyaksandr Lukashenka's rise to power, BelaPAN reported. The police arrested some 30 protesters, mostly from the youth organization Zubr, while they marched to Bangalor Square, the permitted venue for the protest. The demonstration speakers, including opposition lawmakers from the Respublika caucus - Valery Fralou, Syarhey Skrabets, and Uladzimir Parfyanovich - human rights defender Ludmila Hraznova, and Iryna Krasouskaya, the wife of missing businessman Anatol Krasouski, appealed to the gathering to prevent Lukashenka from running for a third term and demanded the parliamentary elections scheduled for 17 October be free and fair.
