Belarusian youth activists attend a ” pillow  fight” flash mob in Minsk,  Belarus, Thursday. In  Belarus, an authoritarian, former Soviet nation, even a  pillow  fight can be seen as a threat to national security. On Thursday, club-wielding police dispersed about 400 pillow-wielding youths who gathered to humorously commemorate the anniversary of the Battle of Grunwald which stopped an invasion of German Catholic crusaders in Eastern Europe 600 years ago. Some 50 of the youths were detained. You write the cutline. (AP Photo/Sergei Grits)
