The story of ongoing struggle in Belarus

 Belarus , one of the country in Europe which shares its boundary with Latvia , Lithuania , Poland , Russia and Ukraine . Belarus has become a matter of great discussion because of their ongoing struggle for freedom that is why my attention went on this subject. You will think why i wrote ' freedom ' as Belarus got the freedom on 25 August 1991 after the dissolution of Soviet Union . Three years after the soviet union abdicated , in 1994 , first presidential election held in Belarus  in which  Alexander Lukashenko won the elections with 80.6 % vote in his favour and this is the only election which has been held in fair manner . 

On 9 August 2020 , the sixth presidential election happened in which Lukashenko stood for sixth time to become president .  However ,  Lukashenko has been becoming president since 1994 due to unfair elections as claimed by different foreign observers . Those who stand as a political rival against Lukashenko is being jailed in either criminal case or fraud case . This thing has happened in 2020 too when a popular Youtube blogger Sergei Tikhanovsky was jailed when he tried to stand for a presidential candidate . After then Svetlana Tikhanovsky ,  wife of Sergei Tikhanovsky emerged as a main rival against Lukashenko . She was the main rival which could be seen on her campaign where thousands of Belarusians gathered to hear her. And this was the only election in which voter turnout was higher as compared to last elections. It was clear that their is no way ahead for Lukashenko but what result came out shocked everyone. Lukashenko relected as a president with 80% of the vote while the main rival got only 9.9 % which is difficult to believe. Ms Tikhanovsky claimed that poll had been massively rigged and she considered  herself as a election winner . The European Union and United states also claimed it as an unfair election.  

A person who ruined country's economy , violated human rights , detained those who stand against him , mocked SARS-CoV2  by declaring " No one will die of corona virus in our country " and recommended Vodka , Tractor drives and sauna visit to fight against covid - 19 became president is quite unbeleivable . This has led to the mass protest in the streets of Belarus. Tens of thousands of protestors gathered to peacefully protest nicknamed as 'slipper revolution'  and ' anti-cockroach revolution' . Ms. Tikhanovsky fled the country for her children safety and will continue to do peaceful protest against Lukashenko .
