OSCE asks Belarus to drop teddy bear prosecution

Dear students: in what other class would you get the latest news on legal proceedings against Pussy Riot girls and bloggers accused of assisting parachuting teddy bears? (Go ahead - name another class!)

The OSCE is asking the Belarussian government nicely that it drop charges against the teddy bear blogger. This comes after Belarus kicking out the Swedish ambassador (the teddy bear plane took off from Sweden, as you may recall.)
