Four protesters have been detained by police after attempting to block one of central Moscow's busiest streets, the state-run TASS news agency reported Friday.
A group of 12 demonstrators tried to
unfurl a banner across Tverskaya Ulitsa on Thursday night, TASS reported, citing a source in law
enforcement.
The protesters, who were
campaigning to be given access to social housing, blocked three lanes
of traffic for several minutes, the source said.
A spokesperson for the Moscow police declined to comment, telling TASS that they had received no official information on an unauthorized demonstration in the city.
