“About 600 people were detained,” TASS quotes the words of a lawyer who provides legal support to the detainees.
According to her, they were detained in a mosque in Kotelniki, and later taken to the Lyuberetskoye police station.
According to Anosova, law enforcement officers are checking the documents of the detainees, but "so far they are not incriminating anything."
In July, the Interior Ministry reported the arrest of 103 Central Asians following a mass brawl outside the Kuzminki metro station in southeastern Moscow.
