Russian riot police detained opposition leader Alexei Navalny during an anti-Putin rally in Moscow yesterday, two days ahead of President Vladimir Putin's inauguration for a fourth Kremlin term. Over 1,000 anti-Kremlin activists were also arrested across the country after Mr Navalny called for people to take to the streets to protest against what he says is Mr Putin's czar-like rule. Online footage showed him being carted off to a van by his arms and legs.
