Sviatlana Tsikhanouskaya, the Belarusian opposition leader, rejected the latest presidential election results, which declared Alexander Lukashenko the winner amid allegations of fraud. Western observers condemned the election as neither free nor fair due to intense media restrictions and the imprisonment of opposition figures. Tsikhanouskaya acknowledged protestors who opposed Lukashenko's regime, highlighting their courage and unity. Reactions from Western leaders underscored a collective disapproval of the electoral process, with German and Polish officials voicing their concerns about the lack of democratic choice in Belarus.
To all the Belarusians who stood together yesterday against the regime's fake elections in Warsaw, Vilnius, Berlin, Kyiv and so many other cities I cannot thank you enough.
The people of Belarus had no choice. It is a bitter day for all those who long for freedom and democracy.
Will the rest fit inside the prisons? Only about 87% of voters appeared to have backed Lukashenko.
Your courage and solidarity are a powerful reminder that Belarusians will never stop fighting for freedom, democracy and a European future.
