JUDY WOODRUFF: In Belarus, tens of thousands marched through the capital of Minsk today, angered over a disputed election and the brutal police crackdown that followed. Police have freed about 2,000 people arrested during this week's demonstrations. But reports of widespread torture of those in custody are driving fresh outrage. All this as the European Union is drafting a list of people in Belarus who could face sanctions for their role in the crisis. Nick Schifrin has our story. And a warning: Some of the images are graphic. You may find them disturbing.
NICK SCHIFRIN: The scars of authoritarian rule are written on Vartan Grigoryan's back and in the stitches holding together his eye.
VARTAN GRIGORYAN, Minsk Resident (through translator): I was told to lie down, and so I did. They started beating me. I did not resist. They took me to a police truck, and beat me there as well.
NICK SCHIFRIN: He was in a group of men released from a detention facility that included 19-year-old Alexander Vilks in the green jacket. That's his mother. He'd been held for two days without any communication. And when he shows her the wounds inflicted inside? She can't bear it.
ALEXANDER VILKS, Minsk Student (through translator): They treated us as if we were terrorists. They beat us very badly, mostly hitting our legs, but also across the body.
HANNA LIUBAKOVA, Outriders: This was some darkest days in the history of modern Belarus.
NICK SCHIFRIN: Hanna Liubakova is a journalist for the independent site Outriders.
HANNA LIUBAKOVA: Whenever a person was transported from one place to another, that person was beaten. There were 80 people that were held there for 24 hours, without food, without water, and, basically, they could not sleep.
NICK SCHIFRIN: Since Sunday, authorities have cracked down on massive protests that followed what they call an election stolen by Alexander Lukashenko, known as Europe's last dictator. The demonstrations are the largest since independence 30 years ago. When one protest of 10,000 reached a government building today, soldiers laid down their shields. Belarus' top security official apologized to beaten protesters. And, today, the protests expanded to workers at state-owned factories, the backbone of the Belarusian economy. They organized a general strike. These workers were asked to raise their hand if they voted for Lukashenko, or for opposition candidate Sviatlana Tsikhanouskaya.
HANNA LIUBAKOVA: Those who were not interested in politics have suddenly understood the nature of this government, of this president. Those who were not against Lukashenko are now taking another side because of this police brutality, of this police violence.
NICK SCHIFRIN: Today, Tsikhanouskaya offered a way forward.
SVIATLANA TSIKHANOUSKAYA, Belarusian Opposition Leader (through translator): I call on the authorities to end this and enter a dialogue. I ask the mayors of all cities to organize peaceful mass rallies.
NICK SCHIFRIN: But this is still Lukashenko's regime.
MARISA DURHAM, Graduate Student: So, they put me on the ground. They put a sheet over my head, so I really couldn't see what was happening.
NICK SCHIFRIN: Marisa Durham is an American master's student, whose boyfriend, Stas Gorelik, is Belarusian who has been studying in the States. They weren't protesting, but police forcibly entered their apartment two days ago and took him away.
MARISA DURHAM: Stas always did everything in his -- everything to always make sure that I was safe, no matter what. And he always took care of me. And he always knew. And the most that I want to do right now try to protect him and help him.
NICK SCHIFRIN: Late tonight, her fear was eased. After our interview, Stas was released. And 26 years later, a president's grip on power is getting weaker. For the PBS NewsHour, I'm Nick Schifrin.

朱迪·伍德拉夫：在白俄罗斯，数万人今天在首都明斯克游行，对有争议的选举和随后警察的残酷镇压感到愤怒。警方已经释放了大约2000名在本周示威活动中被捕的人。但是，对在押人员普遍施以酷刑的报道引发了新的愤怒。与此同时，欧盟正在起草一份关于白俄罗斯的名单，上面的人有可能因为这次危机而遭受制裁。尼克·希夫林带来下面的报道，警告：有些画面较为逼真，可能会令你不适。
尼克·希夫林：威权统治的伤疤写在瓦尔坦·格里戈里安的背上，缝在他眼睛上的缝线上。
瓦尔坦·格里戈里扬，明斯克居民（通过翻译）：我被告知要躺下，我照做了。他们开始打我。我没有反抗。他们把我带到一辆警车上，并在那里殴打我。
尼克·希夫林：他和一群从拘留所释放出来的人在一起，其中包括穿着绿夹克的19岁的亚历山大·维尔克斯。那是他妈妈。他被关了两天，没有任何联系。当儿子向妈妈展现在里面遭受的毒打时，她无法忍受了。
亚历山大维尔克斯，明斯克学生（通过翻译）：他们把我们当作恐怖分子对待。他们把我们打得很惨，主要是打到我们的腿上，也打到了我们的全身。

尼克·希夫林：汉娜·柳巴科娃是独立网站“围观者”的记者。
汉娜·柳巴科娃：每当一个人被从一个地方运到另一个地方，那个人就会遭到殴打。有80人被关在那里24小时，没有食物，没有水，基本上，他们无法入睡。
尼克·希夫林：自上周日以来，政府打压大规模抗议活动，因为他们认为这是一场被卢卡申科偷走的选举。他被称为欧洲最后的独裁者。这次示威是30年前独立以来规模最大的一次。今天，当一万抗议人群到达政府大楼时，士兵们放下了盾牌。白俄罗斯最高安全官员向被殴打的抗议者道歉。今天，抗议活动扩大到国有工厂的工人，这是白俄罗斯经济的支柱。他们组织了一次大罢工。这些工人被要求举手，如果他们投票给卢卡申科，或是给反对派候选人维特兰娜·季哈诺夫斯卡娅投票。
汉娜·柳巴科娃：那些对政治不感兴趣的人突然明白了这个政府的性质，这位总统的本质。那些不反对卢卡申科的人现在正站在另一边，因为警察的暴行，警察的暴力。
尼克·席夫林：今天，季哈诺夫斯卡提出了一条前进的道路。白俄罗斯反对派领导人维特兰娜·季哈诺夫斯卡娅（通过翻译）：我呼吁当局结束这一事件，并开始对话。我要求所有城市的市长组织和平的群众集会。
尼克·席夫林：但这仍然是卢卡申科的政权。
玛丽莎·达勒姆，研究生：所以，他们把我放在地上。他们用床单蒙住我的头，所以我真的看不见发生了什么。
尼克·席夫林：玛丽莎·达勒姆是一名美国硕士生，她的男朋友斯塔斯·戈雷利克是白俄罗斯人，一直在美国学习。他们并没有抗议，但两天前警察强行进入他们的公寓，将他带走。
玛丽莎·达勒姆：斯塔斯总是尽一切努力确保我的安全，不管怎样。他总是照顾我。他总是知道。我现在最想做的就是保护他，帮助他。
尼克：今晚晚些时候，她的恐惧减轻了。经过我们的采访，斯塔斯被释放了。26年后，总统对权力的控制正在减弱，我是尼克·希夫林。
