And the reason is, that Belarus secret services abducted her on the day of the election, and brought her to the border with Lithuania the next morning.
The foreign minister of Lithuania later confirmed, that her arrival to Lithuania was coordinated with Belarus, not with her. She wouldn't say anything about what happened.
It was the smartest move for Lukashenka: he could neither arrest her, nor let her stay in Belarus, if he wanted to try to avoid the protests. The best option was to make it look like she just ran away, leaving everyone who voted for her to fight for themselves.
I wouldn't be surprised, if the same happens with other Belarus opposition leaders during the next 72 hours.
