MOSCOW (Reuters) – Belarus opposition leader Maria Kolesnikova and members of the team of Viktor Babariko, who was jailed at the start of the campaign, said on Monday they were forming a new political party, called Together, a video shared online showed.

“The country is in a political and socio-economic crisis, and together we know, how to exit this crisis… Very soon we will hand in the paperwork needed for registration,” Kolesnikova said in the video.
