Belarus opposition says leaders 'kidnapped' after mass anti-govt protests

Maria Kalesnikava, one of the few leading opposition figures still in Belarus, the council spokesman Anton Radniankou and its executive secretary Ivan Krautsou have been "kidnapped" by unknown people

Three of the Belarusian opposition’s top organizers were reported missing Monday, the day after tens of thousands joined protests in the country’s capital that kept up pressure on President Alexander Lukashenko to hold new elections.
 

“Peaceful actions all across Belarus since Aug. 9 and representing the view of the majority of people are so massive that authorities have begun actively to use methods of terror in order to suppress them,” the united opposition’s coordinating council said on its website Monday.
