"A tyrant once dubbed Europe's last dictator has initiated a rigorous campaign to squash #dissent ahead of elections in January.

"More 100 people were detained in various cities across #Belarus where #AlexanderLukashenko is campaigning for reelection, according to reports from the Viasna human rights center on Wednesday, since last Thursday

The crackdown has been aimed at individuals active in apartment building online chat groups, which residents used to arrange practical matters like maintenance and communal services, now accused by the government of being part of an 'extremist' network."
