Jun 20 2005 1:56PM Oborona youth movement leader comes under tomato attack
MOSCOW. June 20 (Interfax) - About 20 members of the Oborona youth movement held a 15-minute anti-Putin rally in Moscow on Monday.
"The epoch of this president will be over in 1,000 days. We do not need his successor: we need a democratically elected president," said Ilya Yashin, leader of Oborona and the Yabloko youth organization.
A man standing nearby started throwing tomatoes at Yashin as soon as he had uttered these words. The man was detained, a police source told Interfax.
