KYIV, Ukraine—The main opposition candidate in Belarus’ disputed presidential election said on Sept. 17 that activists are compiling a list of law enforcement officers who were allegedly involved in violence against protesters denouncing the results of the vote.
Nearly 7,000 people were detained and hundreds were brutally beaten by police during the first several days of post-election protests in Belarus that are now in their sixth week. Opposition supporters claim the Aug. 9 vote was rigged for President Alexander Lukashenko to get reelected to a sixth term by a landslide and are demanding his resignation.
