‘Intimidation will not work’: Belarus opposition leader

Self-exiled Belarus opposition leader Sviatlana Tsikhanouskaya said on Tuesday that “intimidation will not work” after two other opposition leaders appeared in court as President Alexander Lukashenko’s government pursues a crackdown on the few figures still at large. The two are leaders of the opposition Coordination Council, which Tsikhanouskaya, 37, said in a video link with the European Parliament she set up in order to “facilitate the transitional period.”
