AIUK : Russian authorities must stop mistreatment of protesters

AIUK : Russian authorities must stop mistreatment of protesters: The Russian authorities must halt police mistreatment of election protesters, journalists and detainees, said Amnesty International today, ahead of further planned opposition demonstrations in the country.
More than 1,000 people, including journalists, have reportedly been detained in Russia following demonstrations against the manipulation of votes during Sunday’s parliamentary elections. Figures vary, but possibly more than 100 remain in detention, though many have been released pending court hearings.
Amnesty has received numerous reports of mistreatment of detainees, beatings of peaceful protesters by the police, denial of medical treatment, and closed court hearings. As more demonstrations are planned, the organisation is calling on the Russian authorities to rein in the police and respect the right to peaceful protest.
