Scuffles at Moscow protest calling for Navalny release

Scuffles broke out between police and protesters in Moscow on Saturday, after thousands converged in the city center to demand the release of opposition figure Alexei Navalny.

Officers in riot gear could be seen attacking demonstrators with batons and detaining others.

Navalny's wife Yulia Navalnaya was detained during the protest and posted a selfie onto her Instagram account, writing "Sorry for poor quality. Very bad light in a paddy wagon."
