Belarus Election

Thousands of demonstrators in Belarus gathered at the spot in the capital where a protester died in clashes with police, calling for authoritarian President Alexander Lukashenko to resign after 26 years in power.

It was the seventh consecutive day of large protests against the results of the August 9 presidential election in which election officials say Mr Lukashenko won a sixth term in office.
