Belarusian protesters marched in parks and residential areas of several cities and towns across the country on January 17 as demonstrators continue to demand the resignation of authoritarian ruler Alyaksandr Lukashenka.<\/p>\n
The protesters also are demanding that those responsible for violent crackdowns against demonstrators during the past five months be held accountable.<\/p>\n
Daily demonstrations have been held across Belarus since election officials announced that their tally of the country’s August 9 presidential vote showed Lukashenka winning a landslide victory. Those results are seen by many in Belarus and abroad as being rigged in favor of Lukashenka.<\/p>\n
