full of thousands of people since morning.

protest is going to attract a big crowd, radio "Liberty" reports. "We
will not stop battle just for nothing. We want to reinstate justice,"
one of protesters said.

opposition’s claims on elections results being falsified. He strongly
demanded that protest actions be discontinued, otherwise not ruling
