Around 50 demonstrators were reportedly detained overnight from Sunday to Monday at two opposition encampments at Arbat and Kudrinskaya Ploshchad.
Around 10 people were arrested at a camp near a statue of poet Bulat Okudzhava on Arbat, according to witnesses, Ekho Moskvy reported Monday. Another 40 protesters were detained by police at Kudrinskaya Ploshchad, art group Voina wrote on its Twitter account early Monday.
A few dozen people remained at the site on Arbat on Monday afternoon, while another group of protesters has headed to Kudrinskaya Ploshchad, Ekho Moskvy reported.
An anti-Kremlin protest camp has been migrating to various sites around the city center since May 8, among them Staraya Ploshchad near the presidential administration offices and Chistoprudny Bulvar near a statue to Kazakh poet Abai Qunanbayuli, from which the movement gained the unofficial name Occupy Abai.
After a week-long stint at Chistoprudny Bulvar, the camp has been broken up by police almost nightly. Over the weekend, police cleared the camp at Kudrinskaya Ploshchad, citing complaints from local residents and violations of unnamed sanitary norms regarding food eaten by protesters.
A Message from The Moscow Times:
Dear readers,
We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."
These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.
We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.
Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.
By supporting The Moscow Times, you're defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.
Remind me later.
