Epoch Times:
Nearly 1,400 people were detained in a violent police crackdown on an opposition protest in Moscow, a Russian monitoring group said Sunday, adding that was the largest number of detentions at a rally in the Russian capital this decade.
OVD-Info, which has monitored police arrests since 2011, said the number of the detentions from Saturday’s protest reached 1,373 by early Sunday. The overwhelming majority of people were soon released but 150 remained in custody, OVD-Info and a lawyers’ legal aid group said Sunday.
Crackdowns on the anti-government protesters began days before the rally. Opposition leader Alexei Navalny was arrested and sentenced Wednesday to 30 days in jail for calling for Saturday’s protest against election authorities who barred some opposition candidates from running in the Sept. 8 vote for Moscow city council.
Navalny was unexpectedly hospitalized Sunday with a severe allergy attack, his spokeswoman said.
Kira Yarmysh said Navalny, who did not have any allergies beforehand, was taken from the Moscow jail to a hospital in the morning, arriving with severe facial swelling and red rashes. Hours later, she said Navalny was in a “satisfactory condition.” read more here
TRUMP’S fault!!! 🙄
An an aside, The Epoch Times is a superlative newspaper, one of the few honest papers in the nation.
I read the WSJ every morning so my time is somewhat limited but if you are sick and tired of your local rag constantly fellating the Democrats and giving you propaganda wrapped up as actual news, give the Epoch Times a look-see, you won’t be dissappointed.
The natives are getting restless!!!
That’s somebody else’s Country.
Has zero effect on me or my Country.
The U.S. has hate groups like Antifa running wild in the streets.
Enemies of the People that need to be paid some physical attention.
May allergies in July be the least of their discomfiture.
Removing opposition candidates from the ballot is an age-old democrat-machine ploy. Allergies can get pretty bad in Chicago.
all of Antifa needs a Wood Shampoo. For that matter, they’re all filthy smelly bums and need regular shampoos too, preferably using RID.
