Angle shows protesters being detained amid Lukashenko's secret inauguration in Belarus
Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko took the oath of office at a secret ceremony on Wednesday in a move his opponents attributed to his desire to avoid crowds of demonstrators who have held historic protests against his disputed re-election.
The date of his inauguration for a sixth term had not been announced, but on Wednesday morning, the Belta state news agency broke the news that "Alexander Lukashenko has taken office as President of Belarus." This event caused spontaneous demonstrations in Minsk, where some protesters were detained, as seen in this clip from September 23.
