In video: Protesters in Belarus split into several arenas (from Twitter)
Protesters in Belarus have changed their protest tactics in recent weeks, and instead of a large rally in the center of the Minsk capital blocked by security forces, they are holding small demonstrations in every district of the city.
According to social media, about 20 protest rallies were recorded today (Sunday) across the city, following the closure of several subway stations and the restriction of traffic in Minsk by the regime of Alexander Lukashenko.
The 66-year-old dictator continued for a sixth term after the August presidential election, but the opposition is demanding he resign on the grounds of widespread forgery.
Thousands have been arrested in recent months, and opposition leaders have fled exile or been jailed.
Lukashenko, who has refused calls for his resignation so far, said on Friday that he would not remain in office after a new constitution was passed - that it was unclear what it would include and when it would go to the polls.
His opponents accuse him of spreading time.
He enjoys the support of Russia, while in Europe sanctions have been imposed on him and his senior government officials.
"Large columns of people have gathered in all Minsk districts, without exception. The Lukashenko police are moving from district to district," the opposition telegram channel "Next", which helps coordinate the demonstrations, said.
The police reportedly used stun grenades and tear gas and detained dozens of protesters, as of early afternoon.

Svetlana Tikhanovskaya, the main rival of the so-called last dictator of Europe, said thousands took to the streets.
She added that the citizens of Belarus are "a proud, brave and peaceful people who have learned the price of freedom and will never agree to live without it."
Tykhanovskaya, 38, who ran in the last election to replace her imprisoned husband, claims to be the real winner.
She fled the former Soviet republic to Lithuania, a member of the European Union immediately after the election, and won the support of several Western leaders, who refused to recognize the election results and demanded the prosecution of perpetrators of violence and violence against protesters, which also includes torture.
