Two Russians still behind bars in Minsk for protesting

Belarus has refused to close criminal cases against two Russian citizens arrested over participation in opposition protests in Minsk last month, spokesman for the Russian Embassy in Belarus Vadim Gusev said.

Artyom Breus and Ivan Gaponov were arrested on charges of taking part in riots following the presidential elections on the 19th of December, 2010.

Mr. Gusev added that a court in Belarus also refused to release Gaponov on condition that he will not leave the country until court hearings are over.
