Hundreds of people, among them many Belarusians living in exile in Poland, marched in Warsaw on Sunday to protest political repression in neighbouring Belarus — a demonstration held on the eve of the one-year anniversary of the Belarus presidential election that they consider rigged.

Many carried the Belarusian opposition’s red-and-white flag and chanted “Long live Belarus!”
