10 Russian journalists arrested

Ten Russian journalists were arrested on Saturday while covering a protest against alleged vote-rigging in the December parliamentary elections in the southwestern republic of Ingushetia. Police fired in the air to disperse the protest in the capital, Nazran, and then detained the journalists. They were held for 20 hours before being escorted by armed troops to the neighbouring Russian republic of North Ossetia for their "security". Among those held were correspondents for leading Moscow TV, radio and newspaper outlets. (Via IFEX)
