Demonstrators have massed in central Minsk after opposition leaders called for a huge rally to demand the resignation of Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko, in the latest in a wave of protests against his disputed re-election earlier this month.
Lukashenko dispatched riot police to disperse rallies that erupted after he claimed a sixth presidential term in an election two weeks ago that critics say was rigged.
Thousands of demonstrators draped in red-and-white flags of the opposition on Sunday flooded Independence Square in the capital as a group of women protested against police violence ahead of the opposition's "March of New Belarus".
