[국제]Protests demanding release of detention Navalni across Russia… arrests thousands

[앵커]

Protesters across Russia call for the release of Russian opposition leader Alexey Navalni, who was detained after returning home from poison addiction treatment in Germany.

Russian authorities refused to rally because of the risk of the spread of Corona 19, but Navalni supporters protested, and in the process, numerous people were arrested and detained.

As Navalni supporters flocked to Pushkin Square in downtown Moscow, the square was quickly filled with protesters.

The protesters shouted’Putin resignation’ and’Navalni release’.

[류드밀라 쿠즈넷소바 / 러시아 시위대 : 나는 나발니를 지지합니다. 나는 논평란에 ‘그는 나의 미래의 대통령이다’라고 쓴다.나는 그에게 투표할 것이며, 신은 그들이 그에게 다른 어떤 것도 하지 못하게 할 것이다. 그리고 앙겔라 메르켈 독일 총리에게도 많은 감사를 드립니다.]

Russian police indiscriminately arrested the protesters after forced dissolution, claiming that it was an illegal protest.

Navalni’s wife, Julia, was also arrested and arrested at the scene of the protest.

The international human rights watchdog OVD-info says thousands have been arrested across Russia.

The protests took place sequentially from the Far East, the fastest time zone in Russia, which spans 11 hours.

Russian authorities censored social media and arrested Navalni aides a few days before the protests, but they were unable to stop the protests.

Navalni, who fell into a coma from poison poisoning in August last year, returned to Korea on the 17th after recovering from treatment in Berlin, Germany, but was arrested and detained by authorities at the airport.
