Protester dies in Belarus protests after explosive device detonates in his hands
 [Washington Examiner] A protester in Belarus died after an unidentified explosive device blew up in his hands.The incident occurred on Monday, marking a bloody turn to the second night of protests in the country over the nation's recent presidential election, which opposition leaders see as a sham. Police have attempted to disperse protesters with flash-bang grenades and rubber bullets. On Sunday, it was announced that President Alexander Lukashenko won 80% of the vote, but because of a lack of poll oversight, many have been left to question the legitimacy of the result. Lukashenko has been president since 1994. Svetlana Tikhanovskaya, Lukashenko's main rival, has yet to concede the race. Posted by: Besoeker 2020-08-11 |
