Russian Oppositionists Released in Aftermath of Unsanctioned Rally

Oppositionists Sergei Udaltsov, Alexei Navalny and Ilya Yashin, who were detained on Sunday for holding rallies in support of political prisoners have been released after administrative penalty charges were drafted. A series of rallies in support of political prisoners were held in central Moscow on Saturday. According to the organizers' plan, people were supposed to stand holding posters 50 meters away from each other from Lubyansky Passazh to Tekhnichesky Pereulok, where the Investigative Committee is located. On Friday, the Investigative Committee officially filed charges against Left Front movement coordinator Sergei Udaltsov for organizing mass unrest.
