Belarus crisis: hundreds protest in Poland as NATO slams Lukashenko
20:33
Hundreds of people took to the streets of Białystok in eastern Poland recently to demonstrate against the regime of President Alexander Lukashenko in Belarus. Protesters held a banner in Polish stating: “60 kilometers from here people are fighting for freedom.”
Meanwhile, NATO, the multilateral military alliance between 30 nations, has said the allegations by Lukashenko that “foreign powers” are organizing a build-up of troops on the country’s border are baseless. Dressed in military fatigues, the president said he had placed his armed forces on “high alert.” He is facing growing calls within Belarus for his resignation following a disputed election two weeks ago.
