Women in Belarus have held a peaceful protest against the country’s election result.

Holding flowers, they formed a long ‘line of solidarity’ along a busy road in the capital, Minsk.

Thousands of people have protested all across Belarus since Sunday.

They are demanding a recount of the ballot that gave President Lukashenko a landslide victory.

Police officers who were deployed to break up the post-election protests have been seen using batons, stun grenades, tear gas and rubber bullets.

At least one protester has died in Minsk and scores of others have been injured since Sunday.

Some 6,000 people have also been detained this week, according to the Interior Ministry.
