Lukashenko Up to His Old Tricks
He's started another set of kangaroo court trails to railroad political opponents back into prison. From the Guardian:
Prosecutors opened a criminal case Saturday against more than two dozen protesters arrested in a rally demanding the ouster of authoritarian President Alexander Lukashenko.
...
Andrei Klimov, an opposition leader who organized the protests, said the Minsk regime's crackdown on political opponents showed that it feared it would be next.
``The opening of a criminal case shows that Lukashenko has really taken fright at the events in Kyrgyzstan, Ukraine and Georgia and is trying to crush any manifestation of democracy,'' said Klimov, who was still at liberty on Saturday.
``The last dictatorship in Europe is surviving on fear and repression,'' he said.
