Belarus ElectionsMarch 19, 2006 8:06 pm
Siarhiej Kalakin, Milinkevich’s aide, has just announced that his candidate got 30% of votes. This means that there should be a second round of the elections.
A white-red-white flag appeared atop of the Union Palace. Snipers are seen around the square.
Info from Charter97 and RFE\RL
re snippers - let’s not be sensationalist! Any offical residance/admin building of a head of state must be protected (the White House and Downing Street would without hesitation add extra security forces from the roof tops of the building in light of large demo gruop). the secruity forces have responsibilty to protect the building and going too close or forcing your way in would be a fatal error.
