Police detained more than 50 people during a march in Moscow in memory of opposition leader Boris Nemtsov who was shot and killed near the Kremlin, a news report said.
The detainees were charged with violating public order during Sunday's mourning march, said the head of City Hall's security department, Alexei Mayorov, the Interfax news agency reported.
Among the detainees was Ukrainian lawmaker Oleksiy Honcharenko, who has since been released from custody and is sheltering in his country's embassy in Moscow, Ukraine's President Petro Poroshenko said Sunday on Facebook.
Honcharenko was scheduled to appear in court later Monday on charges of disobeying police orders, Interfax quoted his lawyer as saying.
Police said about 21,000 people took part in Sunday's march, while organizers put the number closer to 50,000.
The march was generally orderly and "stayed within the allocated time frame," Mayorov was cited as saying by Interfax.
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.
