Moscow activists rally against Russian airstrikes in Syria
A group of Russian anti-war activists have protested against the Kremlin's actions in Syria and corruption in Russia. The effects of Syria intervention would only get worse, protesters claim.
Some 300 people attended the Saturday rally, organizers told the Russian news agency Interfax, while the security forces estimated some 150 demonstrators. Most of the rally participants were over 50 years old and wore pacifist symbols.
The anti-war event was organized by Russian Solidarnost movement, known for its opposition to President Vladimir Putin.
"I believe that this is not the last rally, the subsequent ones will be much bigger,' Solidarnost representative Sergey Davidis told Interfax.
"The nature of the matter is that consequences of Syria intervention will only get worse, and draw more attention as the crisis continues," he added.
Solidarnost members and civil activists also criticized the perceived corruption within the state structures.
The security forces detained one woman ahead of the event for holding up a sign with a slogan "Putin, you murderer, stop shaming Russia."
The rally in the Russian capital was marked by a notable police presence. In addition, a small group of government supporters approached the protesters chanting slogans in support of the Kremlin's policy.
Russia has been conducting air strikes in Syria since late September, with the proclaimed goal of destroying the "Islamic State" strongholds.
The US and other Western countries accuse Russia of indiscriminately targeting all opposition forces, and acting solely in the interest of their ally, Syrian president Bashar al-Assad.
