A woman has been fined £650 for wearing red and white socks because they matched the colours of the Belarusian opposition nationalist movement s flag.
The pedestrian was spotted in Minsk wearing the coloured socks and shoes as she was on her way to a driving lesson, and was grabbed by four men in balaclavas.
Natalia Sivtsova-Sedushkina was told she was being detained for dressing improperly, because she was sporting the colours of the banned flag.
