The Kremlin called violence against security officials at illegal rallies unacceptable

"A fairly large number of hooligans, provocateurs (at the actions. -

) with a more or less aggressive behavior towards representatives of law enforcement agencies, which is unacceptable," RIA Novosti Peskov quotes.

He noted that "the law must be applied with the utmost rigor to them."

Earlier it was reported that in St. Petersburg, law enforcement officers detained a man who hit a riot policeman during an uncoordinated rally on Pionerskaya Square.
