Russian television reporter Pavel Sheremet, a critic of Lukashenko lies at a Minsk hospital after he was found badly beaten, 18 October 2004. Sheremet was arrested 17 October on hooliganism charges, his colleague Svetlana Kalinkina and a police official said. Belarusians voted in a referendum devised to tailor their post-Soviet constitution and allow authoritarian leader Alexander Lukashenko to seek a third term as president, despite opposition cries of foul and Western fears over his democratic credentials.
