A rally of defrauded shareholders was dispersed in Moscow
On April 15, 2006, OMON dispersed an unsanctioned rally of defrauded landowners in Moscow.
The protesters gathered near the building of the Historical Museum and tried to go to Red Square.
People with posters and the organizers of the action were detained. Nevertheless, about half of the protesters remained at the place of the action. Police officers rudely demanded that the protesters disperse, and journalists were not allowed to record on a dictaphone.
A few minutes later, a bus with OMON officers drove into the square. The people holding the banners were pushed onto a bus and taken to the nearest police station. Protocols were drawn up for the detainees, including an 80-year-old woman.
Picketers face fines.
