Women In Belarus Take To The Streets To Protest Post-Election Crackdown
Security forces have clashed with demonstrators since Sunday's election, which is widely viewed as fraudulent. Nearly 7,000 have been arrested. And the opposition candidate fled the country.
On Thursday, thousands of women, many dressed in white and carrying flowers, turned out in the streets across Belarus for a second day of protests. They're reacting to a violent crackdown on anti-government demonstrations triggered by a weekend election widely viewed as fraudulent.
Security forces have repeatedly clashed with protesters in recent nights, using batons, stun grenades, tear gas and rubber bullets.
