Russia arrests more than 2,000 during second weekend of protests calling for Alexei Navalny's releaseRussian police arrest more than 2,000 people as protesters across the nation take to the streets to demand the release of jailed opposition leader Alexei Navalny. If you dig deep into this warmonger media, I bet the more than 2000 arrested is more like around 200 🤣🤣🤣 Hey ABC TV, on ABC 24 the presenter said the Russian government was 'using the full force of the law' against the demonstrators. Please be careful not to use such expressions, they give legitimacy to the Putin regime. Thank you. There was a pro Navalny demonstration in Sydney today, worth reporting about, in my view. Can provide photos if you like.
