“I had no option left but to protest”—protester. Russian police detain nearly 700 in opposition crackdown on peaceful protest for free elections. Police grabbed banned pol Lyubov Sobol, carted her away before the start. She’s getting the Navalny treatment. reuters.com/article/us-rus…
Last week 1300 arrests. Today 700. Brutal beatings. Internet cut. Leaders arrested. New criminal investigation of Navalny. #Russia's excessive response to election protests suggests @Navalny, @SobolLubov, @IlyaYashin are right. Opposition politicians can win. And Putin knows it.
@navalny @SobolLubov @IlyaYashin FYI Last major #Putin crackdown on protests for fair elections? Secy of State @HillaryClinton spoke out. Infuriated Putin's revenge began & culminated in #Russia's 2016 attack to rig our election—which Trump & GOP welcomed—& welcome still‼️ #MutePompeo #MoscowMitch #PutinsPuppets
