Hundreds of Russians Arrested Across Country in Mobilization Protests

As of writing this post, conservative estimates put about 735 protestors in police custody with 267 in St. Petersburg, which was the first city to open special conscription sites after yesterday’s mobilization announcement, and 260 in Moscow. There has also been significant protestor activity in Yekaterinburg.

 

The video above shows civilians filming their detention in a “paddy wagon” in Moscow after being detained by police.

Below will be several links to individual stories.
