Investigative Committee said protesters face arrest. Hundreds of people have
already been detained in multiple Russian cities, according to a
protest-monitoring group. The Russian government on Thursday threatened
anti-war protesters demonstrating against Russia's invasion of Ukraine, warning
they could face arrest for organizing. And according to a protest monitoring
group, the detentions have already begun as growing protests have broken out in
some Russian cities. Russia's Investigative Committee warned citizens in a
statement not to take part in the "unauthorized" protests
"associated with the tense foreign political situation." The
committee said that people should be aware of the "negative legal
consequences of these actions," which it said includes criminal liability.
"The law provides for severe
punishment for organizing mass riots, as well as for resisting law enforcement
officers," the committee said. It
added that citizens who undertake "such illegal acts may face
imprisonment."
