Belarus: Police Raid Rights Group Office

By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

A human rights group, the Belarussian Helsinki Committee, said Wednesday that the police had raided its office and detained its director, Oleg Gulak. The Belarussian authorities have cracked down on dissent since elections last month that gave President Aleksandr G. Lukashenko a fourth term. More than 700 people, including seven candidates who ran against him, were arrested after the voting.
