MOSCOW, April 7 (Itar-Tass) -- Advocates of human rights from Bashkortostan have gathered at a commemoration stone to victims of Stalinist repressions in Lubyanka square in Moscow on Thursday, demanding the resignation of Bashkortostan President Murtaza Rakhimov. Around 200 protesters with flags and slogans in their hands turned up. Some of them have prisoner overalls on.
The protest act authorized by the Moscow city authorities was to begin at 3.00 p.m., but was postponed because a flight from Ufa that carried the protesters to Moscow was delayed.
A 65-strong police cordon is ensuring law and order on the scene: the situation is normal, no incidents have been reported, a source from the Moscow Interior Department told Tass. http://itar-tass.com/eng/level2.html?NewsID=1913874&PageNum=0
