Hundreds of people took to the streets of the Belarus capital Minsk on Wednesday to protest against the rule of President Alexander Lukashenko.
Unrest has been growing in the ex-Soviet republic since the onset of a severe economic crisis that has seen the rouble devalued by some 36 per cent coupled with rampant inflation.
Lukashenko, who has ruled Belarus since 1994, has warned opposition leaders that he will hit hard against those who oppose his policies.
