Dozens Arrested During Anti-Corruption Protests in Russia

Thousands of people took part in anti-corruption protests, demanding the resignation of Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev, in several cities across Russia on March 26.

The protests were held in response to a report released in early March by a group affiliated with Russian opposition politician Alexey Navalny, which accused the prime minister of accumulating funds for assets through charities and NGOs.
