She stayed in the commission headquarters for hours and faced senior law enforcement officers, according to her campaign aides. “We don’t know what kind of pressure she was subjected to and how they tried to break her,” Kovalkova said. Lithuanian Foreign Minister Linas Linkevicius said the videos posted by Tsikhanouskaya had been recorded in Belarus before her journey to Vilnius.
