GENEVA - Belarus opposition leader Sviatlana Tsikhanouskaya will address the UN Human Rights Council by video on Friday during its urgent debate to consider a resolution brought by the European Union (EU), a statement said.

Tsikhanouskaya fled her homeland for Lithuania amid a police crackdown in Belarus following the Aug. 9 presidential election, which official results said incumbent Alexander Lukashenko won by a landslide.

The European Union has called for close monitoring of the situation in Belarus by the U.N. rights chief Michelle Bachelet, following what the bloc calls a "fraudulent election", according to its draft resolution due to be considered at the UN forum in Geneva on Friday.

Israel's security cabinet will meet on Sunday at 7:00 p.m.
