Police Detain Oppositionists in Moscow

The Moscow police detained at least seven members of opposition movement “Another Russia” and conducted searches of the homes of the group's members, as well as of the organization’s office. Although the detainees are reportedly being questioned in relation to the nationalist protests on December 11, 2010, the oppositionists themselves believe the arrests are to prevent the demonstration planned for January 31, 2011 in support of Article 31 of the Russian Constitution (freedom of assembly).
