Russia: at least 74 arrests for protesting during the presidential election, according to an NGO. Russians vote on Sunday on the last day of a poll intended to celebrate the triumph of Vladimir Putin.
Critics of the Russian president, who has been in charge of the country for twenty-four years, wanted to demonstrate their disagreement with the policy of the master of the Kremlin by going to vote at the same time, at noon on Sunday. The death of opponent Alexeï Navalny and the assault on Ukraine constitute the backdrop to the election.
