AP picture a handful of protesters taking part in a wave of demonstrations challenging the re-election of authoritarian President Alexander Lukashenko in balloting that they say was rigged. The Coordination Council, which was set up by the opposition to negotiate a transfer of power, said members Sergei Dylevsky and Olga Kovalkova were detained in the capital of Minsk. Later in the day, the opposition also reported the detention of Alexander Lavrinovich, a strike leader at a major industrial plant. Police also detained at least five of several hundred people who had gathered in Minsk’s Independence Square on Monday, the 16th straight day of protests, and another five in other cities, activists said. The actions signalled Lukashenko’s determination to stifle massive post-election demonstrations that have entered their third week. — AP First case of virus reinfection HONG KONG — Hong Kong scientists are reporting the case of a healthy man in his 30s who became reinfected with coronavirus four and a half months after his first bout.
