Kazakh riot police detain an opposition supporter during a rally in Almaty January 30, 2010. Activists held the rally to protest against China's request to allow it to rent a plot of land in Kazakhstan to grow crops. The Kazakh government has denied any plans to lease land to China.

All of the tension in the people's hands in this picture really add to the image.
