Belarus: Can President Lukashenko be overthrown?
The Inquiry
Over his 26 years in power, Belarusβs president Alexander Lukashenko has taken more and more control.
He has detained protesters and tortured political opponents for years. He is emboldened by his last ally in Europe - Vladimir Putin. And his regime of terror is spilling over into the continent.
But, Tanya Beckett asks if Europeβs last dictator can cling on to power for much longer.
