Protests against President Alexander Lukashenko entered their fifth week as tens of thousands of demonstrators marched to the outskirts of his presidential residence in the capital. Protests calling for the country’s authoritarian leader to resign also took place in major cities throughout Belarus. Demonstrators marched to the outskirts of the Palace of Independence, the president’s working residence three kilometres outside the city centre. The palace grounds were blocked off by riot police armed with shields and water cannons.
