A protester against pension reform was detained in Moscow

A participant in a rally against pension reform was detained in Moscow. This was reported on Facebook by Natalia Demina.

The young man was detained by riot police after he wrote "Putin is ***" on a poster. During the detention, the poster was torn.

Earlier, the organizers of the event said that during the installation of the stage, banners were taken from them, photographed and sent for verification. After that, the organizers were told that the banners could not be used, since their design had to be coordinated in advance with the Moscow Regional Security Department.
