Moscow Police Clashes with Anti-Fascists

Moscow anti-fascists and human rights activists held a 1,000-strong demonstration in memory of lawyer Stanislav Markelov and journalist Anastasia Baburina, who were murdered a year ago (two alleged neo-Nazis are being tried for the murders). The demonstration was banned by the authorities, and ended in a brawl between demonstrators and police, who were supported by pro-Kremlin youth organization members. Dozens of demonstrators were detained, but later released.
