Police have rounded up more than 1,600 people at protests across the country. Thousands of people gathered in central Moscow to march from central Pushkin Square to the Kremlin. The Interior Ministry estimated 4,000 people attended. News agency Reuters estimated the figure was likely 40,000. Police violently dispersed protesters with batons while some demonstrators were pushing back, French news agency AFP reported. "Mass arrests have already started on Moscow’s Pushkin Square — even before the official beginning of a protest demanding Navalny be let out of prison. Police seem to be grabbing people on the square at random. Dozens of arrests across the country at other protests already," reported DW's Russia correspondent Emily Sherwin. Russia cracks down on organizers, social media Ahead of the protests, Russia's media watchdog Roskomnadzor accused platforms of hosting content encouraging and organizing the protests. It threatened fines if they did not remove content encouraging minors to participate in the demonstrations. By Friday evening, the watchdog said TikTok had deleted 38% of the posts that authorities deemed illegal, while YouTube had deleted 50% of posts flagged by Russian regulators. Authorities also said they had launched a criminal investigation against Navalny's supporters for urging minors to attend illegal rallies on social networks. The Investigative Committee for the Novosibirsk Region in central-southern Russia opened a criminal case on incitement to mass riots, Russian independent media outlet MediaZona reported on Friday. They reportedly detained a 20-year-old resident for his role in organizing protests. Navalny's associates also urged Russians to take to the streets despite official pressure, promising financial help to protesters given fines. In a push to galvanize support, Navalny's team also released a video about an opulent palace on the Black Sea they alleged belonged to Russian President Vladimir Putin — something the Kremlin denied. The clip had been viewed more than 60 million times as of Friday.」1月24日 1時13分
