A peaceful protest opposing the election of Belarus President Alexander Lukashenko has turned violent, with videos published online depicting police forcefully detaining protesters.
Protesters and bystanders have taken to Twitter to expose the brutality demonstrated by police, describing horrific cases of mass arrest and tear gassing.
This is the sixth week of the protests, with one hundred thousand Belarus citizens taking to the streets to oppose the reelection of Lukashenko, after it was speculated that his win was rigged.
