Lukashenko took the oath of office once more on Sep 23 but the opposition has told him he must quit before Oct 25 or face a general strike. MINSK: Belarusian protesters are due to stage a new march on Sunday against strongman Alexander Lukashenko in defiance of authorities' threat to open fire in an increasingly dangerous standoff between the opposition and the regime.

Tikhanovskaya, who maintains she was the true winner of the August polls, also said Lukashenko must release political prisoners and halt the"state terror" unleashed by authorities against peaceful protesters. He did not say who was behind the alleged plot but said the organisers and their"foreign-based supervisors" planned to pin the blame for the provocations'"severe consequences" on Belarusian law enforcement.

Nexta appeared to draw historic parallels, comparing Lukashenko to an"occupier" and Belarusian protesters to"partisans". During World War II Belarus was occupied by Nazi Germany and boasted Europe's largest partisan movement.
