We first talked with Alexander Milinkevich two years ago. Than he was the candidate for the opposition standing for president in Belarus: an election in which Alexander Lukashenko was returned to power. Despite huge political pressure, Milinkevich has continued to extol the merits of democracy over dictatorship. He has tried to persuade the Belarus government to carry out economic and political reforms which he deems essential. Belarus' opposition leader warns of dangers facing his country.
