Russian police arrest more than 600 protesters in central Moscow

Police detained more than 600 demonstrators in Moscow on Saturday as Russian opposition supporters took to the streets in defiance of a formidable security presence, in fresh protests calling for fair elections in the capital next month. The unauthorised march, which comes after stark warnings from Russian authorities and a crackdown on Kremlin critics, was billed as a “stroll” along Moscow's leafy boulevards as anger grows over the refusal of officials to let popular opposition candidates run in next month's city parliament elections
