Tens of thousands of anti-government protesters took to the streets of the Belarusian capital on Sunday heading towards the Palace of Independence to demonstrate against the results of the August presidential election.
Traffic officers are currently working to redirect vehicles, given that the protesters have blocked several major thoroughfares and intersections in the city.
A large-scale opposition protest movement has been ongoing in Belarus for more than a month following the 9 August presidential election, which saw incumbent Alexander Lukashenko win a sixth term in office. The Belarusian opposition has rejected the results of the vote.
As thousands of demonstrators have been detained across the country, the opposition has accused the security forces of excessive violence, while the government blames the protests on foreign interference.
