Alexei Navalny was detained by police today as he was leaving his apartment building. He was on his way to a meeting with residents of Nizhny Novgorod — the meeting had been officially approved, but the city administration later illegally tried to revoke that approval over the phone and announced that another event would be held at the same location.
Alexei is currently at the Danilovsky police station, where he recorded a message to all residents of Nizhny Novgorod. Please help us spread it.
