Moscow police dispersed an opposition protest as activists tried to march towards the Kremlin. The Strategy-31 action in support of constitutional rights was held on Triumfalnaya Square in downtown Moscow. Around 100 activists sat on the ground, holding hands and shouting slogans, while the police stood by without interfering. The sit-in lasted for two hours without incident, but when activists got up and tried to walk down Tverskaya Street towards the Kremlin, the police broke up the march, detaining several dozen people. Opposition forces regularly hold Strategy-31 protests in central Moscow, insisting on their right to peaceful gatherings.
