Navalny's office reports about 30 detainees in Krasnodar

At least 30 people were detained at an action in support of Navalny in Krasnodar. They are not allowed to be visited by an advocate, the oppositionist's office reported.

About 200 Navalny's supporters came to the building of the administration for the Krasnodar Territory and demanded a meeting with the Governor. The number of the detainees included director Andrei Loshak, lawyer Razmik Simonyan, and Cossack Yevgeny Panchuk.

Andrei Loshak has already been released from the police. Two other persons wrote explanatory letters and were also released, the "Caucasian Knot" correspondent was informed at the oppositionist's office.

Today, actions in support of Navalny are also being held in Astrakhan, Rostov-on-Don, Volgograd, Essentuki, Sochi, Stavropol, and other Russian cities.
