Germany Belarus Teddy Bear Invasion
Swedish Tomas Mazetti, left, and Hannah Frey, right, show a teddy bear on a parachute as they pose for a photo in Berlin, Germany, Wednesday, Aug. 1, 2012. The slogan on the paper fixed to the bear reads "We support the Belarusian struggle for free speech". Mazetti and Frey intruded Belarus' airspace with a Swedish light plane and dropped in hundreds of such teddy bears decked out in parachutes and slogans supporting human rights. Belarus' authoritarian President Alexander Lukashenko has sacked the nation's air defense chief and the head of the Border Guards service after this action. (AP Photo/Gero Breloer)
