Krasnodar: 32 people detained at a rally "He's not our tsar!" against Putin

With the use of violence, policemen have detained 32 protesters at a rally "He's not our tsar!" in Krasnodar.

On Saturday, law enforcers dispersed rallies of supporters of the action announced by the oppositionist Alexei Navalny "He's not our tsar!" dated to the upcoming on May 7 Vladimir Putin's inauguration.

Vilen Dyomin, a volunteer of the local Navalny's office, told the "Caucasian Knot" correspondent that detentions at the rally were conducted cruelly; policemen twisted detainees' arms, dragged them on the ground and threw them into paddy wagons.

Alexei Avanesyan, an advocate, wrote in his Facebook that he was not let into the police station, where the detainees are kept.
