For the second week in a row thousands of Moscow residents gather to protest the injust arrest of Alexey Navalny by the Russian government. Over 5,000 arrests have been made spanning across 85 cities. In Moscow Alexey Navalny's wife Yulia was arrested briefly for participating in protests, but was soon released. Although Russia denies being involved in the poisoning of Navalny, the world believes the Putin administration to be responsible for the attempted murder. As of today, the capital is "more reminiscent of a besieged fortress than a modern city". Protests have been met with excessive force from police and citizens are beginning to detest Putin and his followers.
