The battle against Loekasjenko's regime
On 24 May 2020, the first fairly small-scale demonstration began after it became known that President Lukashenko wanted to enforce a sixth term. Demonstrations increased on a large scale after Lukashenko was declared the winner of the elections on 10 August. The United Nations subsequently issued a statement in which it did not consider the result to be legitimate.
Photographer Remco Koers went to Minsk to portray the opponents of the regime. He also witnessed some of the many demonstrations.
