Police in Belarus detained about 30 people who staged a demonstration outside the Russian Embassy to demand that the Kremlin stop backing hard-line President Alexander G. Lukashenko.
The protest occurred three days after opposition leader Alexander Kozulin was sentenced to 5 1/2 years in prison in connection with demonstrations against the reelection of Lukashenko, who has been in power 12 years.
