Description

Moscow protests outraged by injustice in the summer of 2019 were violently dispersed by anti-riot squad (OMON) and Rosgvardiya Moscow protests in the summer of 2019, caused by the non-admission of independent candidates to the elections to the Moscow City Duma, were violently dispersed by anti-riot squad (OMON) and Rosgvardiya. The peaceful protests on July 27 and August 3, which brought thousands of people outraged by injustice to the central streets of Moscow, inspired many and made them brave, despite the detentions and the massive criminal case called the "Moscow case". The detentions themselves and this criminal case have mobilized new solidarity forces - among professional human rights defenders and ordinary activists, especially young ones. It became trendy to support political prisoners. Will it last, though? ​
