“The regime has 13 days to fulfill three mandatory demands: 1. Lukashenko must announce his resignation. 2. Violence on the streets must stop completely. 3. All political prisoners must be released,” says a message published on Tikhanovskaya’s official Telegram channel on Tuesday, September 13.

If these demands are not met within the specified period, “the whole country will peacefully take to the streets,” and on October 26, “a national strike of all enterprises, blocking of all roads, and a collapse in sales in state-owned stores will begin,” Tikhanovskaya warned.

“We have 13 days to prepare, and all this time Belarusians will continue their peaceful and persistent protest,” the oppositionist continued.

“We have said many times that we are ready for dialogue and negotiations. But a conversation behind bars is not a dialogue,” Tikhanovskaya said, referring to Alexander Lukashenko’s meeting with 12 opposition representatives in the KGB pre-trial detention center in Minsk on October 10.

As ForumDaily wrote earlier:

  • In Belarus, on Sunday, August 9, the presidential elections were held, which were initially accompanied by mass protests of people who disagreed with the policies of the current president, Alexander Lukashenko, who has been ruling the country for 26 years. After the announcement of the results protests erupted with renewed vigor, many disagree and doubt their veracity.
  • Thousands of people gathered to protest against falsification of elections in Belarus. They are beaten and dispersed by the security forces. One person died... Svetlana Tihanovskaya left the country.
  • On August 12, the European Union and the United States announced that the presidential elections in Belarus on August 9, in which the incumbent President Alexander Lukashenko was declared the winner, were neither free nor fair... The EU and the US plan to impose new sanctions against Minsk.
  • August 12 police officers opened fire to kill the protesters.
  • 12 August women in different cities of the country formed living chains and sang lullabies near the monuments. TV presenters were fired from state channels, and military personnel and police officers threw uniforms and insignia into garbage cans.
  • How detained protesters are bullied in Belarus, read in our material.
  • For those affected by the protests already raised over two million dollars... At the same time, the money is collected through the personal Facebook of the campaign organizer, and there will be no detailed reporting on payments. But this is the only working scheme for Belarus - otherwise the fundraisers may be jailed.
  • August 16, Minsk hosted the largest political protest in the history of Belarus - hundreds of thousands of people came out under white-red-white flags. The “Freedom March”, as the opposition called its action, took place immediately after the rally in support of President of Belarus Alexander Lukashenko.
  • On August 19, a coordinating council of the opposition, created by supporters of Svetlana Tikhanovskaya for the transfer of power in the country, began work in Belarus. Alexander Lukashenko called the creation of the council an attempt to seize power and threatened with harsh measures.
  • September 23 Lukashenko held a secret inauguration and took office as President of Belarus.
  • Both the US and the EU refused to consider Alexander Lukashenko the legally elected president Belarus
