Policemen detain members of an opposition organisation, who came to picket the Russian embassy in Minsk to protest against Russia's activities in Georgia, August 11, 2008. The fighting between Russia and its small, former Soviet neighbour broke out last Thursday when Georgia sent forces to retake South Ossetia, a pro-Russian province that threw off Georgian rule in the 1990s.
