Russia's opposition holds protest march, despite a ban by authorities, a week before elections for city parliament next Sunday
Russian opposition activist Ilya Yashin, right, is escorted to a court before hearings in Moscow, Russia. August 29, 2019.
Ahead of the rally on social networks, Muscovites shared a photo of water cannons allegedly stationed along the route of the protest, dubbed the "March against political repressions."In the past, the Moscow polls have generated little public interest. Another probe has been launched against Navalny's anti-corruption foundation, which has produced numerous videos alleging massive graft among officials at City Hall run by Putin's ally, mayor Sergei Sobyanin.
But opposition candidates, such as politician Ilya Yashin, hit back, accusing Putin of lying and appealed this week to Russian Supreme Court to have his candidacy reinstated.
