💨 Abstract

In the upcoming presidential election in Belarus, Alexander Lukashenko, in power since 1994, is assured of another term despite mass protests and Western sanctions. His opponents describe the election as a sham. Lukashenko has started releasing some opposition figures from jail, likely to repair relations with the West. The opposition, however, remains jailed or exiled, and arrests continue.
