“The protesters are not children!”
Russia: rule by law, not rule of law
Deutsche Fassung
Abstract
Since the arrest of Alexei Navalny on 17 January 2021, protests have been held across Russia demanding his release. The authorities have responded with repressive measures, and over ten thousand people have been arrested. Grigory Okhotin analyses the background to the arrests and the abuse of the law. The founder of OVD-Info stresses the fact that freedom of assembly is a human right.
