Internet access was reportedly disrupted after President Alexander Lukashenko was booed by workers during his visit to a state-owned military truck factory, as video clips of the incident began to be shared online. The longtime leader is battling ongoing protests, said to be the largest in the country’s history, which began after he was re-elected earlier this month in what protesters say was a rigged election.  Data from Oracle Internet Intelligence and the Center for Applied Internet Data Analysis corroborate local reports of network disruption.
