Protests demanding the release of Russian opposition activist Alexei Navalni in custody took place again across Russia on Sunday, with more than 4,000 arrested.
According to foreign media such as the AP and AFP news agency, on the 31st local time in Moscow and other large-scale protests calling for the release of Navalni, they confronted the police by shouting’Putin resignation’ and’Putin is a thief’.
Foreign media say more than 4,000 people have been indiscriminately arrested by police across Russia and many injured in the course of conflict with the police.
US Secretary of State Tony Blincoln tweeted as Russian authorities confronted the protests with hard-line crackdowns. “The United States condemns Russian authorities for their use of harsh suppression tactics against peaceful protesters and reporters for the second consecutive week.”
The Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs criticized it, saying that it was “a rude interference in the internal affairs of Russia,” and “it tries to cause unrest by supporting protesters.
