Protests against Putin in 80 Russian cities

In about eighty-eight cities in Russia, Saturday, supporters of opposition leader Aleksej Navalni are expecting to protest against President Vladimir Putin and for fair elections.

In most places no permission was given for the protests under the title of Navalni. Observers expect the demonstrations to turn out in confrontations with the police.

Opposition leader Navalni will not be in the demonstrations himself because he is stuck. He was sentenced to twenty days cell phone last Monday because of the call for forbidden demonstrations.
