Thousands protest for fair elections in Moscow, largest in 8 years
(Worthy News) – Frustration over the exclusion of opposition candidates from Moscow’s local election next month drew tens of thousands of protesters on Saturday, making it the city’s largest protest rally in eight years, by some estimates.
The rally marked the fourth consecutive weekend of demonstrations of the Russian capital’s city council ballot. The demonstration has prompted protests in other cities, reflecting wider frustrations with Russia’s tightly controlled politics.
Unlike the previous two Moscow rallies, where police harshly dispersed the crowds and arrested more than 1,000 protesters, Saturday’s gathering was officially sanctioned. [ Source: Fox News (Read More…) ]
