1:10Now PlayingUnfazed by government threats, thousands of demonstrators on Friday formed "chains of solidarity" across the Belarusian capital of Minsk as post-election protests entered their 13th straight day.
Motorists honked and slowed down to block traffic in a show of solidarity.
Protesters are demanding that authoritarian president Alexander Lukashenko resign, accusing him of stealing a sixth term in office by rigging the country’s August 9 presidential election.
During the first four days of post-election protests, police detained almost 7,000 people and injured hundreds with rubber bullets, stun grenades and clubs.
At least three protesters died and scores displayed serious bruises from police beatings.
