Hyde Park, a Moldovan NGO that has become notorious for its public protests in Chisinau, staged a demonstration in front of the Russian Embassy yesterday.
Hyde Park representatives said they thusly wanted to express their solidarity with the arrest of dozens of anti-Putin protesters in Moscow on January 31, 2009. Lyudmila Alexeyeva, an 82-year-old woman who heads the Moscow Helsinki Committee and who recently received a prestigious award from the European Union, was among the detainees.
Unimedia carried some video footage from the protest. Some of the police officers tried to prevent the Hyde Park activists from filming and stepped on a portion of snow on which the protesters had written "article 10 and article 11" of the European Convention on Human Rights.
