Freedom of Assembly Demonstration Dispersed in Moscow

On May 31, Moscow opposition activists held their traditional demonstration on the Triumfalnaya Square in support of Article 31 of the Russian Constitution (freedom of assembly). A similar demonstration was held in St. Petersburg. As usual, both demonstrations were banned by the authorities and dispersed by the police special forces. Several dozens of activists were arrested. In contrast, a similar demonstration in Nizhny Novgorod was allowed.
