Remember how the Kremlin has just enacted a new law allowing the KGB to warn anyone who criticizes the Kremlin to stop, and if they don’t to jail them for up to two weeks without charges or trial? Now read the following with redoubled horror. Paul Goble reports:
Breaking Human Rights and Democracy


In
Moscow, approximately 100 opposition activists have been detained out
of the 1000 who took part in Saturday’s iteration of Strategy 31, a
series of rallies dedicated to the defense of the constitutional right
to free assembly, Kasparov.ru reports. Among those detained are former
Deputy Prime Minister and Solidarity opposition movement co-leader Boris
Nemtsov and Strategy 31 co-organizer Konstantin Kosyakin. The two other
Strategy 31 organizers, former Soviet dissident Lyudmila Alexeyeva and
National Bolshevik leader Eduard Limonov, left the square before police
were able to detain them.
