KYIV, Ukraine—Crowds of retirees marched in the Belarusian capital of Minsk on Nov. 16, marking 100 days since mass protests became an almost-daily feature of life in the country after authoritarian leader Alexander Lukashenko won a sixth term in a widely disputed election.
More than 2,000 pensioners were estimated to have taken part in the rally, demanding the resignation of Lukashenko and a halt to the government’s violent crackdown on dissent. They carried flowers and red and white flags that have become a symbol of protest.
