Women protesters detained in Belarus capital

Hundreds of Belarusian women on Saturday marched in Minsk city centre to continue calls for the resignation of President Alexander Lukashenko.

Footage from Belarus' capital showed a large police presence at the demonstration and some protesters being arrested.

Security forces also detained a number of participants at similar demonstrations earlier in the week.

Protesters in Belarus have spent a month denouncing the results of the country’s August 9 presidential election as rigged and which saw Lukashenko win a sixth term.
