“Police officers and the Russian Guard have detained two active participants in an unauthorized mass event on Sovetov Square in the city of Ulan-Ude,” the site says.

Detainees are held administratively liable.

The Commissioner for Human Rights in Buryatia, Yulia Zhambalova, said that she would find out the legality of detention at an uncoordinated rally.

“At a spontaneous rally in the city of Ulan-Ude, which began on September 9, the protesters disagreed with the election results of the mayor of Ulan-Ude and demanded the release of two detainees. Recall that we are talking about the detention of citizens who accompanied the “shaman” Alexander Gabyshev, who follows on foot from Yakutia to Moscow, ”the Ombudsman’s website says.

On September 8, mayor elections were held in Ulan-Ude. The victory was won by the acting acting head of the city administration, Igor Shutenkov (self-nominated), gaining 52.52% of the vote.

In second place is Senator Vyacheslav Markhaev (Communist Party of the Russian Federation), who gained 36.58%.
