    INTERNATIONAL NEWS: POLICE ARREST OVER 1,500 AT RUSSIA PROTESTS BACKING NAVALNY

    in News Updates



    Police detained over 1,500 people and used force to break up rallies around Russia on Saturday as tens of thousands of protesters demanded the release of Kremlin critic Alexei Navalny, whose wife was among those detained.

    Navalny had called on his supporters to protest after being arrested last weekend as he returned to Russia from Germany for the first time since being poisoned with a nerve agent he says was applied to his underpants by state security agents inAugust.

    The authorities had warned people to stay away from Saturday's protests, saying they risked catching Covid-19 as well as prosecution and possible jail time for attending an unauthorised event.

    But protesters defied the ban and bitter cold, and turned out in force.

    In central Moscow, where Reuters reporters estimated atleast 40,000 people had gathered in one of the biggest unauthorised rallies for years, police were seen roughly detaining people, bundling them into nearby vans.

    The authorities said just some 4,000 people had shown up.The foreign ministry questioned Reuters' crowd estimate, using sarcasm to suggest it was too high.
