Police said they had detained more than 250 people across the country, alleging the protests were sparked by “internet provocateurs”.But the Investigative Committee said it was also launching a criminal probe for organising and participating in gross violations of public order, which has a maximum jail term of three years.

Riot police forced some to kneel on the floor of police vans and some were hit in the face, Viasna said.
