Update from Belarus: the beginning of the end?

I just read a blog from Belarus about their Presidential elections and it appears the result is all but confirmed with fresh tyrannical developments having taken place.

Alexandr Milinkevich, the primary opposition candidate to dictator incumbent Alexandr Lukashenko, has had his campaign "decapitated" by the authorities. Vincuk Viachorka, head of Milinkevich's campaign office, was arrested and sentenced to 15 days in prison. Coincidentally, this will mean he misses the end of Milinkevich's key final drive for votes - the public will go to the polls in ten days' time.

According to the anonymous blogger in Belarus, this means "game over":

"Lukashenko was getting too scared, and today he stopped playing cat and mouse with the opposition, because the cat was obviously getting very frightened."

So it looks like the Belarussian people are set for another term of despotic rule by a man who should be locked up.
