In Moscow on Manezhnaya Square, riot police detained nine people, including two minors. This was reported shortly before 13 hours by the OVD-info.
As one of the detainees said, he and other citizens were on the square without posters and other agitmaterials. Suddenly two buses drove up to them. Riot police officers dragged citizens there without explanation and with the use of force.
The detainees were delivered to OP "Airport".
Meanwhile, blogger Denis Styazhkin reported on his Twitter that 14 people were detained. One of the protesters was dragged by the hair. The activist who took off his detentions, deliberately, before taking him to the bus, was thrown on the ground.
To avoid detentions, activists are divided into groups of two or three people: the behavior of the security forces indicates that they are ordered to be detained in a larger number.
Meanwhile, the seven participants in the weekly "Walking of the opposition", heading from the triumphal to Manezhnaya Square, were seized on Tverskaya. OVD-Info laterwrote about 10 detainees, one of whom had no relation to the action. All of them were delivered to the OP "Tver".
Earlier, at about 7 in the morning, three people were detained on Manezhnaya. They were delivered to OP "Kitay-Gorod", from where they soon released after "preventive conversations."
Activist Alina Martinovich was among the detainees both times - both in the morning and in the afternoon.
As of approximately 19:40 Saturday , about 300 demonstrators on Manezhnaya expressed the intention to stay there at night. At the same time, the functionaries of the headquarters of Alexei Navalny convinced the audience to disperse, stating that working at the headquarters is more productive.
By 23 o’clock in the square there were only about 70 protesters .
By 1:30 the night, the security forces dispersed the audience . About 10 people were detained, but soon released without drawing up protocols.
An hour later, it became known about the detention of about 20 people on Maroseyka, who were heading from the metro pure ponds to OP "Kitay-Gorod". The detainees were delivered to the Basmann and Presnensky departments, from where between 4 and 5 in the morning they also released without protocols.
