*** Record Number of Peaceful Protesters Detained in Moscow ***

Moscow police set an ominous record on July 27, 2019 by arbitrarily
detaining at least 1,373 people, including about 25 children, during
peaceful protests. The police used excessive force at the demonstrations
over the exclusion of opposition candidates from upcoming city assembly
elections to break up peaceful protesters and to detain them.
