Russian police detain at least 94 at Moscow journalist protest
MOSCOW - Russian police detained around 100 people on Wednesday, including opposition politician Alexei Navalny, at a protest in Moscow calling for punishment for police officers involved in the alleged framing of a journalist, monitors said.
Golunov, 36, known for exposing corruption among Moscow city officials, was detained by police last Thursday and accused of dealing drugs, an allegation he flatly denied. Reuters witnesses said well over 1,000 people marched through the streets of central Moscow, chanting “Russia will be free” and “Russia without Putin” as police warned them not to break the law and blocked access to certain streets.
Under Russian law, the time and place of protests involving more than one person needs to be agreed with the authorities in advance. Organizers of Wednesday’s event had demanded that Moscow city officials negotiate those terms with them during a live broadcast, something they said officials refused to do.A Reuters witness saw at least three police officers bundle opposition politician Alexei Navalny into a truck.
