Belarusian police detained about 700 people on a fourth night of protests following President Alexander Lukasheko’s contested election victory, the former Soviet republic’s interior ministry said on Thursday (13 August), write Andrei Makhovsky in Minsk and Maria Kiselyova in Moscow.

Security forces have clashed daily with protesters since Lukashenko claimed a landslide re-election victory in a vote on Sunday (9 August) that his opponents say was rigged.
