Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko has signed a law that threatens demonstrators with years in prison. It was the latest move in a relentless crackdown on protests against his rule. The law, which was signed Tuesday, envisages a prison sentence of up to three years for the participants in unsanctioned protests who had faced sanctions for joining them on at least two occasions over a year.
