Three more men were just sentenced for up to four years for their roles in December protests over the re-election of President Alexander Lukashenko.
In a three-hour interview with Washington Post senior associate editor Lally Weymouth, Lukashenko ranged from combative to plaintive.
The taped interview was conducted in English, with a Lukashenko aide interpreting, then transcribed.
