Belarus opposition candidate Sviatlana Tsikhanouskaya (pictured) said on Sunday (25 October) a national strike would begin on Monday (26 October) after President Alexander Lukashenko’s government responded with force to protests against him earlier that day, writes Polina Ivanova.

Tsikhanouskaya had previously set a 'People’s Ultimatum' for Lukashenko to resign by Sunday night, promising to call a national strike if he did not.

“The regime once again showed Belarusians that force is the only thing it is capable of,” Tsikhanouskaya wrote in a statement. “That’s why on 26 October a national strike will begin.”
