Russian Opposition Activist Aleksey Navalny Arrested At Moscow Rally



RT:

Opposition activist Navalny detained at Moscow rally, defying house arrest

WNU Editor: He just could not lie down and stay quiet. Kudos for what he is trying to do .... unfortunately .... he is probably going to be back in jail. A few thousand also showed up to voice support for him with a few hundred being arrested. And while I do not expect Aleksey Navalny to be a threat to President Putin .... making him a martyr by putting him in jail will bring headaches to Putin in the future.
