In Moscow, police detained supporters of the Association of Popular Resistance

Several supporters of the Association of People's Resistance (ANS) were detained at the Rechnoy Vokzal metro station, including the coordinator of the Moscow branch of the organization Dmitry Karasev, activists Alena Pavlova, Alexander Buimov, as well as three more activists, one of whom is a minor. The exact number of detainees has not yet been reported. Ekaterina Pulina, press secretary of the ANS, announced this by calling the OVD-Info hotline.

Information about this is also posted in the Association's group on VKontakte.

Now the detainees are in the linear police department at the metro station. Today, the activists planned to hold a meeting to discuss the action on the day of national dignity on September 17th. The ANS has submitted several applications for holding a rally and a procession in Moscow, some of which have already been rejected by the authorities.

It is reported that an employee of the Center for Combating Extremism Aleksey Okopny was seen at the Rechnoy Vokzal station, and an OMON bus is standing on the street near the metro station.

UPD. The detainees are being taken to the 2nd police department along the Moscow metro.
