Belarusians 'will never accept' President Alexander Lukashenko's leadership, opposition challenger Svetlana Tikhanovskaya said Friday at her first press conference since fleeing to Lithuania last week.

"We don't want to live in fear and falsehoods any more," she said, calling for striking workers to liaise with the coordination council she has appointed to organise pro-democracy protests.

Belarus on Thursday opened a criminal probe into the opposition council, saying it was an unconstitutional attempt to topple Mr Lukashenko.The EU, which has rejected Mr Lukashenko's re-election, demanded Friday that Belarus halt the criminal probe, accusing the regime of"intimidation". "In doing so, the Belarusian state authorities have once again reverted to intimidation based on political grounds."
