- 2011_Belarusian_protests abstract "The 2011 Belarusian protests are a series of peaceful protests by demonstrators in Belarus demanding the resignation of current Belarusian president Alexander Lukashenko, who has been the president of Belarus since 1994. Belarus is an authoritarian state, and in May 2011 presidential candidate Andrei Sannikov was sentenced to 5 years in prison for taking part in the Dec 2010 election. Lukashenko claims he won that election with 80% of the vote.Alexander Lukashenko is known as "Europe's last dictator".On 29 June 2011, hundreds of people gathered in Minsk, the capital of Belarus, to protest against the rule of Alexander Lukashenko. Belarus has been affected by a severe economic crisis, inspiring this demonstration to happen. Unlike previous demonstrations, the protesters this time just simply applauded. It was not long before people were forced on to police buses, and about 40 were detained.On 3 July, the Belorussian independence day, about 3000 demonstrators took part in a "clapping protest" in the main square of Minsk, in which protesters clapped instead of chanting slogans. Plain clothed police later came, and arrested many protesters. The government also began blocking social networking sites such as Twitter and Facebook.Much of the protesting fervor stems from a rapidly degrading economy Belarus has been facing in the last few months, and the opposition movement predicts that come autumn, the protests will escalate greatly as working class citizens will demonstrate their frustration over the economy.Following the protest on 3 July 2011, activists widened their tactics of civil disobedience, including distributing videos of police brutality to random citizens, in order to help bolster sympathy against the authoritarian aspect of the government.On 13 July, hundreds of people showed up in Minsk with cellphones set to go off at 8 am, in gesture to tell people to "wake up". Several dozen people were arrested by the police.On 29 July, the government banned assemblies and gatherings, making them illegal.".
