Belarusian Presidential Vote: 19 March 2006

That's right, Lukashenka's rubber-stamp parliament has unanimously approved 19th March as the date for the Presidential election. Luka will be standing once again, as will Alexander Milinkevich the united opposition candidate. Keep your eyes peeled, no doubt the repression will only grow as voting day gets closer.

Meanwhile lawmakers have passed a bill that would crack down on Internet dating. Stupidest law of the year?
