The protest, which began after presidential polls were closed in Belarus at 8 p.m., seems to be a spontaneous action as no opposition party has called for any such gathering. On the contrary, opposition leader Mikalay Statkevich during an opposition march in Minsk on October 10 announced that he sees no sense in demonstrating on October Square on the election day. Statkevich explained that people in Belarus are intimidated and attendance will be rather poor.
