“Svetlana Tikhanovskaya is safe. She is in Lithuania,” Linas Linkevicius Tweeted.

Tikhanovskaya’s whereabouts were unknown late Monday. Her support team had been unable to reach her by phone after she left the election commission building.

Incumbent Belarusian President Alexander Lukansheko claimed victory in Sunday’s election with 80% of the vote, despite widely held claims that the election was not fair. Tikhanovskaya had also claimed victory on Sunday.
