Russians detained in Minsk want out

All the Russian citizens who were detained in Minsk on December 19 have applied to the Belarusian court for early release.

The applications were handed by officials of the Russian Embassy in Minsk who met the detained Russians earlier Friday.

After the December 19 presidential election in Belarus, the opposition, dissatisfied with the victory of incumbent President Alexander Lukashenko, instigated an unsanctioned rally in the centre of Minsk, which was broken up by police.

More than 600 people, including opposition leaders and 11 Russians were detained.
