MINSK (Reuters) - Police in Belarus detained more than 350 people at nationwide protests on Sunday, the Interior Ministry said.

Masked police dragged people into vans and fired stun grenades and tear gas to disperse crowds as tens of thousands marched for a seventh straight weekend to demand veteran Belarusian leader Alexander Lukashenko quit.
