A Russian organization that monitors political arrests says more than 500 people have been detained in Moscow during a demonstration protesting the exclusion of some opposition candidates from the Sept. 8 ballot for the Moscow city council.
Video of the raid Saturday, which was shown via YouTube, showed police barging in, ordering at least one staff member to lie on the floor and pushing furniture aside. The dispute comes as the Kremlin is struggling with how to deal with strongly opposing views in its sprawling capital of 12.6 million people.
