Moscow Police Arrests 120 Protesters

A total of 120 people were detained during a traditional unsanctioned rally in support of freedom of assembly in downtown Moscow, most of whom were released by the next morning. Russian opposition groups hold rallies in Moscow, St. Petersburg and other cities on the last day of each month that has 31 days in defense of their right to freedom of assembly, as enshrined in Article 31 of the Russian Constitution. Police invariably disperse the demonstrations.  Police have estimated the number of protesters who gathered on Thursday on Moscow’s Triumfalnaya Square at 150. The opposition Novaya Gazeta newspaper said some 300 people took part in the rally.
