A number of activists wearing mock prison clothing were arrested outside the Minsk headquarters of the Belarusian security service, known by its Soviet-era name the KGB. The Belarusian human rights movement, Charter 97, says the demonstrators carried placards with slogans, such as "I'm an independent journalist" or "I am a human rights activist."
Several activists were arrested in front of a Minsk department store after handing out leaflets with the text of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.
The Associated Press says four other protesters were arrested in the western city of Grodno.
