– Opposition candidate Sviatlana Tsikhanouskaya has threatened to call a national strike in Belarus if President Alexander Lukashenko doesn’t step down by tonight. “The regime once again showed Belarusians that force is the only thing it is capable of,” Tsikhanouskaya said in a statement, according to Reuters. “That’s why tomorrow, Oct. 26, a national strike will begin.” Lukashenko’s government fired tear gas and rubber bullets at anti-government protesters yesterday.
