PROTESTING BELARUS: WHAT CAUSED PROTEST RALLIES AND DETENTIONS IN MINSK
The police of Belarus were forced to detain about 200 people from those who were protesting in the center of the republican capital. As the witnesses of the events note, people began to gather not only in the center of Minsk, but also on its outskirts.
The reason for such an expression of civil solidarity was the actions of the authorities that refused to register two candidates for the presidential elections - Viktor Babariko and Valeriy Tsepkalo.
According to the local human rights activists, there were about a dozen journalists among those detained by the law enforcement agencies, but many of them were soon released without a protocol being drawn up. Nevertheless, the clashes between citizens and police representatives occurred, although the state media initially preferred not to mention them. Judging by the videos posted on the Internet, people tried to protect the protesters from the police.
As the events escalated in the capital of Belarus, the protests began to take place in other cities. In Brest, about a hundred people took part in the rally. There were even more of them in Grodno. As a result, the rallies covered Gomel, Soligorsk, Stolbtsy, Bobruisk, Pruzhany. In Minsk, six stations of the capital's subway, located close to the places of the rallies, were closed.
Information about the initiation of the criminal cases against the persons who organized and prepared the events, as well as their active participants appeared on the website of the Investigative Committee.
Alexander Lukashenko has remained a president of the republic for many years. And although the Central Election Commission registered five candidates this year, including the current head of state, Babariko and Tsepkalo, whom many viewed as the main competitors of the current government, were not registered. Babariko, although he collected the required number of authentic signatures (165 thousand), was refused due to the errors in his declared income.
Tsepkalo, according to the statement of the CEC, failed to collect the required number of signatures. The CEC declared more than half of the 160 thousand signatures to be invalid.
The experts note that calls for the civil disobedience in the social networks appeared almost immediately after information about the CEC's position voiced by the media.
Dmitry Peskov's commentary, in which the press secretary of the head of the Russian state pointed out the absence of the Kremlin’s interference in the electoral processes on the territory of Belarus, suggests that Lukashenko's words nevertheless hurt the representatives of the Russian leadership.

Lukashenko himself considers the information campaign to be controlled from the outside, referring to some "puppeteers" who are leading the process from Russia and Poland.
