According to RIA Novosti, the demonstrators opposed the adoption of an article of the draft law "On global security", which, as journalists fear, could harm the freedom of the press. 

Earlier it was reported that French police during a demonstration in Paris against the law "On global security", which prohibits filming police officers, threatened to prosecute RT France journalist Meriem Laribi.
