KYIV, Ukraine (AP) — Tens of thousands of people marched through the streets of Belarus’ capital on Sunday, demanding the ouster of the country’s authoritarian leader who won his sixth term in office in an election widely seen as rigged.

25, the entire country will peacefully take to the streets,” Tsikhanouskaya said in a statement.

“Despite the threats of using firearms and intimidation by the KGB (Belarus’ State Security Committee), people take to the streets — the protests are not winding down, and it shows that the political crisis in Belarus is in full swing,” Karbalevich said.

In a statement Sunday, Tsikhanouskaya encouraged Belarusians to continue peaceful protests.

Scores of demonstrators have been detained across the country: the list of detained protesters released by the Viasna center on Sunday evening had over 150 names on it
