Opposition supporters whose protests have convulsed the country for two weeks aim to hold a march in the capital of Belarus. Tsikhanouskaya, who fled to Lithuania after the election because of concerns about her security, gave a withering acknowledgement of the birthday. Lukashenko has consistently blamed Western countries for encouraging the protests and contends that NATO is repositioning forces along Belarus' western border with the aim of intervening in the unrest, a claim the alliance strongly denies. The government also revoked the accreditations of many Belarusian journalists working for foreign new agencies, including journalists working for AP.
