Since a disputed election officially won by strongman Alexander Lukashenko, in power for 26 years, there had been more than 100 requests to stay in Poland.
A senior member of Belarus' opposition Coordination Council said Saturday, September 5, she had taken refuge in Poland after Belarus security services threatened her during detention then transported her to the border.
Accompanied by the Polish prime minister's chief of staff, she told a press conference in Warsaw that security agents had driven her directly from jail to a border post. Michal Dworczyk, chief of staff to Polish Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki, told reporters that Kovalkova had reached Warsaw overnight"in dramatic circumstances."
