Hundreds of people rested in russia and the leading opposition politician jailed protesters say president put his opponents are being excluded from taking part in moscow city elections why is the government taking such a hard stance and could violence against the demonstrators backfire this is inside story. Hello and welcome to the program. Its one of the biggest security crackdown seen in russia for many years i guess where the Authorities Say are illegal demonstrations and independent Monitoring Groups has more than 800 protesters were detained on saturday the week before the figure was almost 1400. 00 and the leading opponent of president Vladimir Putin alexina vonnie was jailed russians are angry at the ban on some opposition minded candidates for the next months city elections in moscow the council controlled by the pro Kremlin United Russia Party is responsible for last minute simple budget the vote comes at a time when putins Approval Rating although still high at more than 60 percent has actually dropped thats been put down to discontent over the economy and falling incomes well discuss all this with our guest shortly but 1st imran khan reports on saturdays events. For the Police Operation designed to stop large numbers of protesters coming to central moscow did exactly that still some did manage to get through the detentions was swift so all throughout today theyve been arresting people like this they pick them up. And they take them into. A van where the idea is a return of the protesters are normally take also a Police Station so then they register journalists were also detained but released almost immediately once they showed proper accreditation protesters a worry the upcoming last go City Council Elections are being rigged in favor of the governing party united russia most of the opposition candidates have been arrested but one who is at the protest said the numbers will load because the authorities were cracking down. Everything depends on how people will react so far there arent that many of us many people are unhappy with united russia and its supporters is the lowest since 2006 but people are scared of coming to the streets or taking party rallies of half a 1000000 take to the streets. Despite the crackdown the protesters that did make it were hopeful change might come down most dont mean yes im here because i have a conscience i dont like a lot of things that are happening in this country im happy that the young generation woke up and want to have their voices heard i am here because candidates we arent allowed to run im against banning of alice im against the crackdown and i think protest is the only way to show your Opinion Police say the protest was illegal and detentions were low and opposition Monitoring Group says the numbers were you much higher than the police who claim its not clear whats next for russias protest movement but the authorities are hoping the show of force has stopped a completely immoral cardholders or moscow. They arrests were condemned by Rights Groups in a statement on a C International said the russian authorities have shown nothing but disdain for humor whites and the notion of peaceful protests with. On the pro russian authorities to respect the countrys humorous obligations and constitution and ensure the wiat to freedom of Peaceful Assembly is respected and facilitated the unfounded mass disorder charges against demonstrators must be dropped and all imprisoned Peaceful Protesters released. So who are the main activists challenging president putin lib or civil lawyer and video blogger was briefly detained before saturdays protests shed been on Hunger Strike after her disqualification from the election alexei of arnie is putting his most prominent opponent last week the Anticorruption Campaign or was taken to hospital from prison in what his lawyer said might have been a case of poisoning his number back in jail serving a 30 day sentence for organizing the protests several other opposition members and activists were also detained but some were later released critics say the kremlin has always used force to intimidate dissenters. Lets bring in our guests from moscow we have victor all of it political analyst and expert of the center for actual politics also from moscow a powerful flag and our journalist and columnist for Novaya Gazeta welcome to the program mr Oliver Church why is this happening i mean this clamp down on the protesters and how significant is it. Well on unfortunately the moscow Municipal Election Commission had made a decision not to register kynges its a number of candidates from Opposition Movements and parties and that its had become widely accepted that that decision was not exactly by the book so the mosque a Municipal Election Commission had been political in making that decision and did not exactly act according to a law of course that was used as a b. Text for broadcast by them or radical parts of the opposition but it must be said it must be said that the discontent that the number of people who feel disenfranchised in moscow is is significant and not every brought down like yesterdays protest is not allowed these bound by by the russian authorities in fact last in fact. Weeks ago there was a license to go for a test that was license in the government and more than the 20000 people came out in fact weeks from now another protest is expected in moscow focused on this specific issue of the elections to the moscow city duma yeah and. Also which is expect up to one found that a 1000 people to come out and that brought that is not expected to be harassed in any way by the u. K. By lease so on the one hand there are issues that have been caused by. By decisions of the moscow city or so into the moscow Election Commission and on the other hand there have been attempts both more radicalized elements of the opposition to use them as a pretext for their actions. Why its such a whole stuns me all about city elections i mean not talking about the dubai lushes were not talking about. The president said it actions which are going to be held in 2024 well it seems that the right moscow authorities are grossly overreacting in the. Moscow city do mother were just not sure this will be you act that in september doesnt yield any real power its not even the professional socalled well i just which sure i mean its part time people theyre not even paid for that work they sometimes gather to pass some kind of registration and there was 0 possibility that the opposition could actually gain a majority in the this way just to ensure or could wield any power there but the authorities are dealing with this lack a military operation basically there had been reliable information coming out from sources in the kram one that this is seen as an act of. Unrest in moscow seen as a. Hybrid warfare that this is a western american led intelligence organizations organizing discontent in russia in an attempt to turn it into a possible coup detat the way it was and ukraine the socalled my don and that is being the russian authorities as being very afraid of that and so now theyre clamping down rio theyre arresting people who all the way there so oppositional all the known leaders of the opposition and most of them are right now and behind bars theres theyre running. Searches theyre working for information and the intelligence Counterintelligence Organization f. S. B. Is very much involved so theyre looking for evidence to show that this is a. Hybrid war operation to the west and that maybe theyre actually preparing some of the show trials afterwards. If we see it that way victor usually city city election is usually about Infrastructure Services and theres this consensus among many people particularly the government that the mayor who is an ally of president putin has been doing well over the last few years why is the government afraid in this case why is afraid and not allowing the position candidates to run for the city in the city elections. Well i would agree with bio that the moscow cigar in the car was over reacted and the proper way to deal with this situation would have been to register as i was going to those who actually lived there enough signatures to be adjusted to plea by the book and to have free and Fair Elections and in fact the popularity of the readings of some of these opposition candidates are quite low so in free and Fair Elections if there are held in september to the moscow city duma most of them would have probably not much of victory most of these opposition candidates able to have simply lost in Fair Elections instead by clamping down seavey yearly by taking this somewhat unnecessary and actions these opposition including radical opposition figures and activists have gained more name recognition their reputation. Among certain are layers of the population in moscow certain segments of the population there they are brand name and their own name their condition has increased and their bipolarity has increased ok so these actions by by the moscow authorities are certainly counterproductive from whatever Vantage Point you look at the. Public the clum done back fly to the point where we can say safely now that the opposition is no on the path to build up more lament for its own political agenda. Oh thats not clear at all in 2012 such a very severe clampdown actually stopped the Opposition Movement then after the duma who actions the state duma elections that was a rather more massive than today so then and work must like with arties believe it can work now too but then again that depends on other issues its not just about moscow though this right now is a moscow city issue its moscow elections its happening in moscow theres very much with though resonance to the entire a contrie side of russia. But right there their thirties have theyre afraid and they have a reason to be afraid because this politico basically political Opposition Movement in moscow may begin to spread out and join forces with the social economic discontent thats really massive in russia because russia is in the konami though drums for
