LONDON (Reuters) — More than 109 people were detained across Russia at protests against mobilization on Wednesday, a rights group said, hours after President Vladimir Putin ordered Russia’s first military draft since World War Two.
The independent OVD-Info protest monitoring group said it was aware of detentions in at least 15 different cities. Unsanctioned rallies are illegal under Russia’s anti-protest laws.
