		</div><p>Belarus’ opposition will compile a register of police officers accused of abuses against peaceful demonstrators protesting the reelection of the country’s authoritarian leader, an opposition leader said.</p>
<p>Sviatlana Tsikhanouskaya, the main opposition challenger in Belarus’ August presidential vote, said in a video call from Vilnius, Lithuania, that the “book of crimes” will include accounts of police abuse that will be verified by independent lawyers.</p>
<p>“Impunity will not last forever,” said Ms Tsikhanouskaya, who was pressured by Belarus authorities to leave for neighbouring Lithuania after the vote.</p>
<p>“No one will be able to deprive hundreds of thousands of people who are striving for justice from speaking out.”</p>
<p>Belarus has been swept by mass protests that were triggered by President Alexander Lukashenko’s reelection to a sixth term in office by a landslide in the August 9 election that the opposition said was riddled with fraud.</p>
<p>Police have cracked down hard on the largely peaceful demonstrations, using stun grenades, tear gas and truncheons to disperse protesters.</p>
<p>Thousands of people have been detained, and many of them badly beaten, since the protests began, human rights advocates say.</p>
<p>The rallies, the biggest of which drew up to 200,000, have continued despite the increasingly tough police response.</p>
<p>The United States and the European Union have introduced sanctions against Belarus officials accused of involvement in vote-rigging and the post-election crackdown.</p>
<p>Ms Tsikhanouskaya said that the opposition will use the register of police officers accused of abuses to push for Western sanctions against them.</p>
