The situation in the Belarusian capital, Minsk, is tense as tens of thousands of Belarus protesters join an opposition rally against the controversial re-election of President Alexander Lukashenko.
Police detained 125 protesters during Sunday's rally, Russian news agency RIA reported, citing Russia's interior ministry.
Independence Square in the center of the city was sealed off with metal barriers and guarded by security forces as the Belarusian interior ministry warned citizens not to take part in Sunday's "unauthorized" rally.
