Moscow-Kyiv:
Protest actions in Russia are held in support of oppositionist Alexei Navalny,
which cover 80 cities, during which about 80 people were detained.
While
Aleksei Navalny is serving an arrest of 20 days, for violating the order of
holding mass events in Nizhny Novgorod, his supporters on October 7, the
birthday of the current president of the Russian Federation, Vladimir Putin,
collect the "All-Russian protest".
"The
coordinators of Alexei Navalny's campaign headquarters in Tver, Stavropol, Perm
and Yakutsk are detained. According to the latest information, only 21 cities
of Russia detained 80 people, "the organization for monitoring political
persecution" OVD-Info "reported.
As
previously announced by Alexey Navalny himself, the main protest action will be
held in St. Petersburg on the Champ de Mars. But, according to Russian media
reports, the police already detained a lawyer at Denis Mikhailov's
headquarters.
On Friday,
August 4, the Simonovsky District Court of Moscow extended the probationary
period for Russian oppositionist Aleksei Navalny for 78 years until 2095.
According to him, this was done so that during this time he could not run for
president.
