EU ambassadors to Belarus lay flowers at the site where a protester died on August 10, 2020, in Minsk, local media outlets reported.

The protests in Belarus erupted after Alexander Lukashenko, in power since 1994, won presidential elections.

According to the Central Election Commission of Belarus, 80.23 per cent of voters supported incumbent President Alexander Lukashenko, while 9.9 per cent of voters backed his main rival, opposition candidate Svetlana Tikhanovskaya.
