BBC World Service - BBC OS, Belarus protests: Thousands gather in the capital

Striking workers have joined protesters in Minsk

Thousands of protesters have gathered in the centre of the Belarusian capital Minsk to demand the resignation of President Alexander Lukashenko -- five days after his disputed re-election. We spek to our reporter about the claims of protesters being abused in prisons. We also hear from protesters and play a conversation from one Belarusian family. 

We have received a lot of reaction after the conversation we had with three Covid-19 “long haulers”. They spoke of the debilitating symptoms they are experiencing after recovering from Covid-19. We have an expert to help with questions and concerns some listeners have sent us.
