Dissenters Don’t Disturb Him, Russia’s President Said
Dissenters Marches don’t disturb him, Russia’s President Vladimir Putin said during the news conference held at the Volzhsky Utes sanatorium, which hosts the Russian-EU summit, Interfax reported.
“The actions should be held in line with the current legislation without interfering with normal lives of other citizens,” Russia’s president pointed out.
At the same time, German Chancellor Angela Merkel emphasized her concern that some people faced difficulties en route to the place of the summit and hoped that they would be able to express their opinion in any case.
Early on Friday, leaders of the Other Russia coalition of opposition - Garry Kasparov and Eduard Limonov - and right advocate Lev Ponomarev were prevented from leaving Moscow for Samara to join the Dissenters March, which is timed to the summit of Russia and Europe there. The police doubted validity of tickets of the opposition chiefs.
