A key opposition leader in Belarus has disappeared in the country's capital, Minsk, after another weekend of mass protests against the rule of embattled President Alexander Lukashenko.
Maria Kolesnikova, the central opposition figure inside the Eastern European nation, was seen being bundled into a vehicle by men in plainclothes, according to independent Belarusian news outlet Tut.By. Kolesnikova’s press representative, Gleb German, confirmed to ABC News that their team had had"no contact" with her Monday.
Belarusian opposition leader Maria Kolesnikova makes a heart sign with her hands during a rally in Minsk, Belarus, on Aug. 23, 2020. There have been near daily demonstrations after the country's disputed election on Aug. 9, in which President Alexander Lukashenko claimed 80 percent of the vote. "Till victory, we will not stop down," Kolesnikova told ABC News at a recent protest."We are ready to go to the victory and it takes a lot of time and energy, but we are ready."
