In Belarus, on 31 days, opposition supporters are protesting against the outcome of the August 9 presidential election, which Alexander Lukashenko said for the sixth time, this time with more than 80 percent of the vote. Opposition candidate Sviatlana Cichanouska won only ten percent of the vote, according to authorities. The opposition, like the European Union, for example, considers this result of the vote to be falsified.

Under pressure from the authorities, the Cichanous Day left Belarus for Lithuania the day after the elections, and the authorities forced other members of the opposition coordination council, Pavel Latuška and Volha Kavalkovová, to leave abroad. Authorities tried to deport Kalesnikova, along with two other opposition, but Kalesnikava deliberately tore her passport on the border with Ukraine, so border guards could not get her out of the country.

Kalesnikava is one of the organizers of the protests that the Belarusians have been holding since the August presidential elections against Lukashenko. Around 100,000 people demonstrated again in Minsk on Sunday.
